Governor Sununu Vetoes Ten Bills, Rejecting Democrats' Policy Priorities
Gov. Chris Sununu, a Republican who has found himself at odds with the Democratic-controlled Legislature this year, has vetoed another ten bills, including a few priorities for New Hampshire's Democratic lawmakers.
One bill was designed to identify whether campaign donations from LLC members exceed contribution limits, which allows wealthy donors to skirt campaign finance limits by channeling donations through multiple limited liability corporations.
Another would have expanded the definition of what kind of groups must register as political advocacy organizations. The governor said both of the bills would have stifled free speech. Despite those vetoes, Sununu did sign off on one campaign finance reform — approving new disclosure requirements for inaugural committees.
The bill was a response to the activities of the governor's own inaugural fund, which has paid thousands of dollars to his family members and close political aides.
