How can they get away with it, and why aren't Dems challenging these corrupt bastards?
And, didn't Texas do the same thing about 10 or 12 years ago?

Yes, Gov. McAuliffe can veto.

But it really says something about Republicans that they'd pass this garbage, even knowing that it won't go anywhere. They're just relentless (and incorrigible).
