Some governors have used the  item veto as a remedy. While they have not necessarily diminished the amount of narrative, they have achieved some protection of the executive budget and veto power. Their success  depends greatly on the type of legal authority embodied in this constitutional power. - Reproduced.  aBudget  aLauth, Thomas P.  aPublic Administration Review
