That's probably a question which will never get an answer? Union Leader political columist Tom Fahey had written that a veto was in the works so probably his state house, insider sources were telling him that, but only Gov Lynch really knows?

The same day of the accident this is what Tom Fahey said in the Union Leader:

State House Dome: Bariatric surgery, Winni limits ripe for veto

"By TOM FAHEY
State House Bureau Chief
Sunday, Jun. 15, 2008
A LOT OF BILLS will go across Gov. John Lynch's desk, but few will rise to the level of a veto.
Two considered ripe for the stamp are a bariatric surgery bill and one that sets up a two-year speed limit on Lake Winnipesaukee.The boat-speed bill, HB 847, sets teeth on edge for both sides of the argument, which has raged for years on state lakes and in Concord. Boaters say enforcement, not speed limits, is the key to safety. Property owners and small -boat owners say limits are long overdue. The bill would apply only to the big lake for 24 months, from Jan. 1, 2009, to 2011. Votes on the bill are always close. We'll see how the "live free or die" argument plays out."


So In My Honorable Opinion, we can all thank Erica Blizzard for the Speed Limit Law.
