Albany, NY — Gov. David Paterson has vetoed 23 policy bills from the Legislature, including a pension sweetener for prison guards. Another vetoed bill would have slapped a tooth decay warning label on “sippy cups,” and another would have required sellers to sanitize used mattresses in the battle against bed bugs in New York City.
