No veto over-ride

I've heard GA staffers from both chambers use less delicate language, but this is the official notice from the Senate side on the potential for a veto over-ride session on SB 542:

After consulting with a number of Senate members, Senator Basnight is of the opinion that an override of the Governor's veto of SB 542 may not be necessary given the Executive Order issued this week. However, under Article II, Section 22(7) of the NC Constitution, the Governor must call the General Assembly back into session to consider whether to override the vetoed measure unless he receives notice from a majority of members in each chamber that a session is not needed. Early next week, members will receive a form to sign if they are so inclined. The forms will be sent to the Governor stating that a special session is unnecessary.
