Gov. Perdue has vetoed fracking... [View all]
Just got email from http://www.ncconservationnetwork.org/ saying Gov. Perdue has vetoed the fracking legislation the state's GOP tried to fast-track through - they don't appear to have the votes to override her veto. However, you can bet that fracking bills will be re-introduced every year at least until or unless one passes -- public health, environmental concerns and property owner rights be-damned. Profits of gas companies will take precedence over all else. That's GOP M.O.
That means us NC'linians will have to remain ever-involved and vigilant in calling/writing/pressuring against it if we want to keep fracking out of NC. And, for God's sake vote Dem every chance you get! (unless the Dem supports fracking of course - then vote for a different Dem!)
