Democrats see veto in NPV bill's future

Jill Krowinski, executive director of the Vermont Democratic Party doesn't see the legislature-approved National Popular Vote bill going very far.

"I'm going to be realistic," Krowinski said, "The governor is going to veto it."
While Gov. Jim Douglas has not "come straight out about [a veto], it's been pretty clear," Krowinski said.

Meanwhile, Rob Roper, the state Republican Party Chairman, said the plan was “bad for Vermont", but is less certain about a Douglas veto. "I know [Douglas] doesn't like the bill," said Roper, "but I haven't heard him utter the word".
