Maine's GOP governor, veto record-holder, names new dog Veto

LePage, who has earned renown for exercising his veto pen on bills he didn't like, adopted a Jack Russell terrier mix from a shelter.

Last month, he vetoed a bill to allow people to buy a lifesaving drug overdose antidote without a prescription, saying it would've created a sense of normalcy around heroin use.

LePage chose the name Veto because his pet "is the mascot of good public policy, defender of the Maine people and protector of hardworking taxpayers from bad legislation," his spokesman Peter Steele said.
