DescriptionInspired by a recent editorial cartoon, Gov. Brian Schweitzer has registered an ornamental brand with the state Livestock Department that says “VETO.”

A cartoon by staff artist Denny Lester in Sunday’s Helena Independent Record shows the Democratic governor holding a branding iron that says “VETO” as he prepares to brand some calves depicting controversial Republican bills. Schweitzer’s border collie, Jag, stands ready to herd the cattle.

Schweitzer has said many times that he is prepared to veto a number of bills coming from the Republican-controlled House and Senate unless they are related to creating jobs.
