Legislators’ Override of Vetoes Fail

    JUNEAU (AP) — The Alaska Legislature failed to override more than $70 million in vetoes affecting school construction and the state ferry system.
    Gov. Mike Dunleavy made the vetoes last summer, after lawmakers had adjourned from a special session.
    A joint session to consider the overrides was announced late Thursday. Lawmakers Friday fell short of the 45-vote threshold needed for an override, with 37 of the 57 members present voting in favor.
