BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) - The North Dakota Supreme Court is hearing arguments in a lawsuit filed by the Republican-led Legislature challenging the veto powers of Gov. Doug Burgum.
Lawmakers allege the Republican governor violated his line-item veto power last spring by deleting words or phrases on several spending bills in a way that changed intent.
Burgum issued a statement Monday which said he looks forward to resolving a lawsuit “initiated by a small group of legislators at significant cost to taxpayers.”
While the high court hears arguments Monday, it will not immediately make a ruling.
