Protest planned today for budget veto
Democratic organizations including Capital City Democrats have scheduled a protest at noon today on the steps of the Legislature to call for legislative override of Gov. Jim Gibbons' veto of the state budget and tax bills.
Organizers say the governor's version of the budget, which would become effective if legislators aren't able to muster an override, would drastically cut education, health care and state employee salaries.
A joint protest is scheduled for the same time in Las Vegas.
