Senator says Perry vetoed his bill by mistake

When Gov. Rick Perry vetoed a change in state truancy law last Friday, he inadvertently killed the wrong bill, the Senate author of the failed measure said Thursday.

“I’ve been told he made a mistake,” said state Sen. John Whitmire, D-Houston, whose Senate Bill 1234 fell victim to Perry’s veto pen despite support from educators and children’s advocates across Texas.
