A bill to regulate Maine sports betting was vetoed Friday by Governor Janet Mills. State Senator Louis Luchini had sponsored the bill and was disappointed by the veto. He was in San Diego on Friday at a conference for states with gambling and said Mills called to inform him of her decision shortly before she made it public.

The bill, one of three Mills vetoed, was among 40 she had held since the end of the last lawmaking session in June, saying they had technical issues or needed additional work. The Legislature recalled 13 of the bills on Wednesday – the betting on sports was not among them – to allow lawmakers to make changes to satisfy her concerns before sending them back to her for consideration.

The governor allowed the 24 other bills to become law without her signature, the Press Herald reports. Under the Maine Constitution, she had to make a decision on the bills before midnight Saturday. You can read more about the veto of Maine sports betting legislation at Yogo Net.
