>>If I understand the situation, it passed the Legislature with a 2/3 majority, MEANING it's actually BETTER if the Gov DOESN'T sign it, because after 20 days it will take effect IMMEDIATELY. If he signs it, it goes into effect September 1st.

yes, 2/3's with his sig (or no action within 20 days), it goes into effect immediately. His veto can be over ridden with 2/3'rds from both cong. and Sen. but it would have to go back again for a veto override vote which won't happen.
