N.H. ‘Right to Work’ Not Veto-Proof—Again

March 15th, 2012 Leave a comment Go to comments

If madness is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results, it may be time for N.H. House Speaker William O’Brien to get a little help.

As we had all predicted, O’Brien held a vote on New Hampshire’s newest so-called right to work bill (H.B. 1677). Predictably, it passed. Predictably, it didn’t get the two-thirds vote needed to overturn a governor’s veto. 

The vote count (198-139) was essentially unchanged from last year, leaving workers and labor leaders asking: What exactly was the point?
