 A bill that would allow fracking in the state of North Carolina was vetoed by Democratic Governor Perdue and was sent back to the State House for the veto override vote. The bill's proponents were a vote short.
Then this happened. In Carney's case, she was the 72nd person to vote for the override, the exact number needed to do so.
WRAL notes: Just after the vote, Carney's voice could be heard on her microphone, saying, "Oh, my gosh. I pushed green." Because of Carney's blunder, a fracking bill that Gov. Beverly Perdue had vetoed is now law. http://news.yahoo.com/n-c-lawmaker-fracks-her-vote-152255133––abc-news-politics.html Simple colour coded voting interfaces are hard.

I haven't gotten to exploring the rest of ND i stay pretty localized to the Grand Forks-Fargo area. As far as the land its very flat...and windy...and cold. I really do want to get out to the western part and go see the badlands and such after I return from overseas. I absolutely love the people up here. They are so much more friendly and polite than pretty much anywhere nowadays. I still crack up when i hear the really exaggerated North Dakota accent. As far as weather I survived my first winter. Although when I talked to locals they called it mild (anyone who thinks -36 degrees fahrenheit mild has lost their sense of temperature). I've been up here for a year and a half now and in general I'm really happy with my choice to volunteer to move. I really like the area, the people, and best of all...NORTH DAKOTA HAS AWESOME GUN LAWS.

As long as I've been around, I'm still amazed at the number of people with so little faith in our servicemen's judgement or discretion that they feel compelled to offer advice on situations they know nothing about. Good grief. Either way, I appreciated the genuine honesty and enthusiasm of your post.  |
