Boat Veto Brings Legislature Back to Raleigh
Gov. Mike Easley today called lawmakers back to the capital to decide whether to overturn his veto of new boat-towing rules.
In the special legislative session starting Wednesday at 11 a.m., lawmakers could override Easley’s veto, allow it to stand until they return next year under a new governor, or pass compromise legislation.
I can’t believe how much attention this trivial issue has gotten from the media and the legislature. I wish Easley and Co. put this much attention into the condition of the mental health facilities and the disarray of the state’s probation system.
