The New Jersey Turnpike Authority is governed by an eight-member Board of Commissioners.  One seat is currently vacant. The Governor appoints most of the members of the board and designates the chair. The Governor has the statutory authority to overturn an action of the Board by vetoing the minutes of the meeting at which the action was taken.
