Maybe; however, the only "swing"  he needed was those notices of layoff to State Employees.  Article 2, Section 17 of the State Constitution sets the time limits for the Governor to sign a bill or allow it to become law.  The Article speaks of 15 to 20 days depending on circumstances.  In any event the clock is ticking now since the appropriation law passed recently.  Apparently the Governor believes that he can somehow line item veto all the money for wages except for that next 30 days before the notices must be sent.  Political backlash notwithstanding, good luck with the logistics of that tactic just in the timing and having then to recall the legislature to appropriate the money back  that he vetoed. So then he hires an outsider for that ungodly amount of money while wanting all Alaskans to accept a 50% cut in these recently large dividend amounts.  Finally, he tips his hand by even talking about not wanting all his legislation this session. The Governor may have no "swing" left.
