Veto of subsidy study upheld by Maine House
May 22, 2013 21:11 GMTAUGUSTA, Maine (AP) -- The Maine House has upheld Gov. Paul LePage's veto of a bill calling for a study of rental subsidies for people with intellectual disabilities.
Representatives sustained the veto Wednesday as a motion to override fell short of the two-thirds vote needed.
The bill addressed the state's responsibility to provide room and board for Mainers with intellectual disabilities. Supporters say the state contribution has been shrinking while costs for providers are rising.
In his veto message, the governor said the cost to pay for the study to be done was not addressed in the bill. He also said it was premature to conduct the study.
