Boise State Public Radio Idaho House lawmakers Wednesday voted to override Gov. Brad Little's veto on a bill that would cut his powers during an emergency while adding to their own. After a more than 90-minute debate, Idaho House lawmakers voted to override Gov. Brad Little’s veto on a bill limiting his powers during an emergency. Many legislators pushed back against Little’s handling of the coronavirus pandemic. Rep. Chad Christensen (R-Iona) called the governor’s response to the pandemic “tyranny.” “My constituents had their lives overturned, businesses shut down, couldn’t go to church,” Christensen said. House Assistant Majority Leader Jason Monks (R-Meridian) took particular issue with Little prioritizing certain occupations over others.
