Legislature Overrides Vetoes on Voter ID & Tax Credits

New Hampshire's Republican-dominated legislature flexed its muscles today and overrode vetoes from Gov. John Lynch on several major pieces of legislation.

Bills that because law over the governor's veto today include a voter photo ID requirement (SB 289), educational tax credits for private and parochial schools (SB 382) and "early offer" medical malpractice reform (SB 406).

The legislature was unable to override the governor's veto on medical marijuana legislation (SB 409), collective bargaining oversight (HB 1666) and a fetal homicide bill (SB 217).
