No vetoes yet, and just three bills to go…

Gov. Butch Otter has acted on all but three of the bills passed in this year’s legislative session; he has until 1:50 p.m. tomorrow to either sign or veto the final three, or let them become law without his signature. Asked if these are measures the governor just hadn’t gotten to yet, or whether he was still debating on them, Otter’s press secretary, Jon Hanian, said, “I think there may be a little of both.”

The remaining bills: HB 1321a, on the Fish & Game winter feeding account; HB 603, on education support units and attendance; and HB 611, on livestock liens. So far, Otter hasn’t vetoed a single one of the 342 bills passed by this year’s Legislature.
