Abstract:

NC state lawmakers have voted to override Governor Perdue’s veto of the state’s fracking bill. The vote needed to make the veto official came as Democratic Rep. Becky Carney mistakenly voted in favor of the veto. Carney attempted to make her mistake known, but was ignored by House Speaker Thom Tillis. The state will now allow fracking and Carney has gone on record making her mistake public and expressing her regret.
