Gov. Perdue to veto benefit/budget bill
Just into the inbox: Perdue spokeswoman Chrissy Pearson says a veto will be coming later today.
Posted — UpdatedJust into the inbox: Gov. Bev Perdue's spokeswoman Chrissy Pearson says a veto will be coming later today.
From the email:
"Gov. Perdue intends to veto HB 383 later today. The General Assembly has once again shown they are willing to play games with people's lives in holding hostage some 37,000 unemployed North Carolinians. But to sign the bill and suffer the extreme cuts proposed by Republicans would risk the future of this state and the lives of 9.5 million citizens.
"A veto message and statement from the governor will be out later today."
The Governor's account, @ncgovoffice, retweeted it, which I guess is confirmation in the brave new world of social media journalism.
