N.C. Fracking Veto is Overruled
Tuesday, July 3, 2012
According to The Charlotte Observer, the legislation that was vetoed by North Carolina Gov. Bev Perdue was overturned by a majority vote by lawmakers during a dramatic night.
The veto passed by one, mistakingly cast, vote by a Democratic lawmaker who pushed the wrong button on her voting device.
Here’s some info:
“Rep. Becky Carney, a Democrat from Mecklenburg County, pushed the wrong button and a GOP maneuver by Wake County Rep. Paul “Skip” Stam prevented her from changing it, giving the GOP a one-vote margin of victory.”
Republican lawmakers needed a three-fifths majority to overturn Democratic Gov. Bev Perdue’s veto of legislation that would allow fracking in the state of North Carolina.
