[UPDATE:] Oyster analyzes the politics of the whole legislative pay raise fiasco, especially why Governor PBJ initially refused to veto the pay raise ... worth reading.

This morning, Governor PBJ finally broke out the veto pen on the legislative pay raise. I guess he realized that the recall effort against him wouldn't look good to the higher-ups in the Republican Party doing the vetting for their Veepstakes.

He can now kiss all of his legislative agenda for the next three years goodbye, as a rather curt thank you from the Legislature for breaking his word to them.
