Re: Baron's Veto

["Carol O'Leary" <Carol_O'Leary@ed.gov>]

     Lady Sorcha asks if it is true that her baron has the right to veto 
     any spending decision.  In the simplest language possible, no, it is 
     not true.  Corpora gives the baron ceremonial duties only, such as the 
     right to fly the baronial banner and to give any baronial 
     nonarmigerous awards or any awards specifically delegated by the 
     Crown.  That is all.  Any other "power" the baron may wield is that 
     granted by the people.

Greetings unto the gentles of Atlantia!
     
        I have a simple question regarding a comment made by our Baron at 
Sunday's Baronial Business meeting.  Is it true that...
     
        "I have this little known power to veto any spending decision." - 
Baron John   ?
     
(We were discussing the pavillion fund our barony has had for several years 
now and the Baron said he would veto any vote for a CANVAS pavillion.)
        I tried to find references to this vote in Corpora and Red Tape and 
failed.  I am just curious if this is correct.  As an officer filling two 
votes, I am wondering if my votes are even worth anything if they can be 
instantly vetoed at The Coronets whim.   Thank you.
                                                                Lady Sorcha
