The House voted late Monday night 72-47 in favor of overriding her veto. The margin was just enough to meet the 60-percent majority required for overrides. Senators voted 29-13 earlier in the day.
Perdue issued the veto Sunday, saying she objected to the bill based on environmental and other concerns.

Is there any “frackable” gas/oil in NC, or was this just for show?
To: greenwill
Nice little boot in the butt for Perdue as she exits left in November.
Maybe there’s hope for NC afterall.

The gas-drilling process known as "fracking" Sigh...
Fracking is not a gas drilling process.
It is a "process" that is done after drilling is completed. It is done for both oil and gas wells.

Perdue issued the veto Sunday, saying she objected to the bill based on environmental and other concerns because she is a mindless economy-killing Democrat.
There, fixed it.

Thank goodness for the voters of NC who elected legislators to challenge this weak Governor's veto. The future potential economic benefits to citizens throughout the State were worth it--once she and her fellow Dems leave office.
