Gov. Eric Holcomb explained on Wednesday why he vetoed a bill that would ban transgender girls from playing on K-12 girls sports team.

He says the bill was addressing something that wasn’t a problem to his knowledge. The governor says he wants to focus his time on issues that are going to make a positive difference in people’s lives.

The legislature is scheduled to meet again in May where the House and Senate could vote to overturn the governor’s veto of House Bill 1040.

    He is out of touch with the real world. There is a lot of transgender news out there such as Disneyland, swimmer Lea (Will) Thomas, governors DeSantis and Abbotts signed bills to protect children. And the angry transgenders who say this is hurting them.
