FYI, according to wikipedia this was changed in 1990
But the governor could still veto individual words in order to create unrelated sentences?
Walker has the broadest veto powers of any governor nationwide, allowing him to strike out entire provisions of the budget or rewrite sections by selectively crossing out words.
You know, I'm not actually sure...
While I was looking for a specific example, I found references to its recent repeal. But my example is from ~2005, so there's some inconsistency somewhere.
I couldn't find the wikipedia article you are citing - are you sure it was about Wisconsin?
What was repealed seems to have been the ability to veto individual letters (creating new words). This was a laughably incomplete solution, as instead of vetoing individual letters to create whatever wording the governor liked (as it was before), he's now limited to vetoing lots and lots of words until he finds the exact wording he wanted. Hence why the example looks like lots and lots of words crossed out, instead of specific letters crossed out. The power involved is quite similar, but it's somewhat more tricky to use if you're restricted to whole words.
