Gov. Perdue Vetoes Fracking Bill

By Tim | July 1, 2012 | Tags: , Business, Northern America |

Good news out of North Carolina, Governor Beverly Purdue has vetoed SB820. WRAL says the bill is supported by Republican leaders in the House and Senate. I hope republicans will allow this bill to die a well-deserved death and not challenge her veto.

Gov. Perdue hasn’t done much that I support, but this is one of them. Good decision Governor.

Say No to Fracking in NC is following developments closely. Check in with them for more.

Well, so much for that; the NC Legislature voted to override the governor’s veto. Most surprising is a yea vote by environmental rising star Rep. Susi Hamilton.
