The tally is in: Governor Lombardo has officially broken the veto record again — striking down the most bills out of any executive in Nevada state history. Vetoes are a check on the legislative branch, but at this extreme, do we need a check on the check? What does Lombardo get out of all those vetoes, and what happens with all this killed legislation now? Co-host Dayvid Figler talks with Battle Born Progress press secretary Jacob Solis to discuss all the implications of the vetoes on Las Vegans.
