OPA works with Governor Evers to have some bills signed and others vetoed
Jack O’Meara recently took part in a bill-signing ceremony where Governor Evers signed a bill that OPA was very involved in from drafting to passage in the Legislature to signing. Another bill that OPA had a hand in lobbying for was signed. Jack also attended a “veto ceremony” where the Governor vetoed a bill that was strongly opposed by OPA clients. During the Evers Administration, OPA has worked closely with the Governor’s team to both enact and stop legislation. The Governor has a very important role as the “goaltender” who blocks bills that are not in the best interest of the people of the state.
