Vermont Gov Vetoes Marriage Bill

As expected.
Gov. Jim Douglas vetoed a bill that would legalize same-sex marriage, setting the stage for an override vote by the legislature. Mr. Douglas, a Republican, announced in March that he would veto the bill, which the Senate passed overwhelmingly and the House of Representatives approved 96 to 52.
The Vermont House only needs five more votes to override the veto.
