Jay Nixon of Missouri to decide whether to veto a bill that would restrict property owners from suing factory farms that pollute and create extreme odors.<\/p>\n<p>\tNixon has until Tuesday to decide what to do with the controversial legislation.<\/p>\n<p>\tA campaign against the bill reached a higher pitch last month after it passed easily enough that Sen. Brad Lager, a Savannah Republican, called it veto-proof.<\/p>\n<p>\tThe vote was 110-45, just one more than the 109 votes needed for an override.<\/p>\n<p>\tBut some Democrats who voted yes promised to switch if the governor vetoed it.<\/p>\n<p>\tIn two weeks, Nixon&#8217;s office received about 1,000 letters, emails and calls running about 6-to-1 in support of a veto, said Scott Holste, a spokesman for the governor. Also, in two days last week, a petition drive by bill opponents got 400 signatures.<\/p>\n<p>\t&#8220;It is a nonpartisan issue,&#8221; said Tim Gibbons of the Missouri Rural Crisis Center, a nonprofit working for small farmers. &#8220;Out in the countryside, everyone is opposing this. The &#8216;suits&#8217; walking around down in Jefferson City lobbying for this, they are not representing farmers, that&#8217;s for sure.&#8221; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The clock is ticking for Gov.
