I've heard elsewhere that Myth's claim of bi-partisan working with the Democrats in Massachusetts was maybe slightly wrong, considering he actually vetoed 800+ bills passed by the Massachusetts Democrats in the legislature. That seemed an amazing, and astoundingly high, number.
Now I hear that so many of his vetoes were overturned (using the usual probably 2/3rds super-majority necessary that I presume Massachusetts uses like most states do) that the number of vetoes overturned was also over 800. Which is even more astounding.
Is this true? One or both? I will look it up, but those are astounding numbers if true. An average of 200 a year? Whoah.
