Veto Day Shifted to August | Concord News

New Hampshire just pulled off a legislative stunt that’s got everyone talking: Veto Day, the high-stakes showdown where lawmakers override the governor’s vetoes, was shoved into August—just two weeks’ notice—with only a handful of legislators able to make it. This isn’t just inconvenient—it’s strategically unfair. With a supermajority needed and vacation season in full swing, the move makes it nearly impossible for lawmakers to show up, tipping power toward the majority party. Why August? No one’s sure, but the result is clear: this wasn’t about efficiency—it was about control. And when the people’s check on the governor depends on who can scramble to Concord, democracy’s got a problem. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
