Episode Details

Alaska’s Governor Mike Dunleavy just shattered his own state record—vetoing 29 out of 115 bills in one legislative session, more than any governor before him. While lawmakers pass fewer bills now, Dunleavy’s vetoes now block one in four, up from less than 9% under his predecessor. Despite claims that each veto is case-by-case, key bills—like tax breaks and auto insurance reforms—are still pending, with deadlines fast approaching. Though Dunleavy’s record is historic for a single term, the all-time vetoes crown still belongs to Jay Hammond, who issued 74 over his career.
