There must be a political name for that legislative sidestep. "Whoopsie, yes it is now law, but don't blame me because I did not sign it."  |
It would take some guts for the Governor to veto or let the bill die. It's popular with the general public and will have passed the Senate, and by a large margin, the House.
Any future accidents would be on his head. Imagine he veto's the bill and there is a high speed, fatal accident on the lake! Fair or unfair, he would take the heat.
I think he should sign it, but I would respect his courage if he didn't.
