2 of 4 Dems Needed to Override Perdue Veto Will Vote to Override...

Fayetteville Observer:

Two Cape Fear region lawmakers who are key figures in the state budget battle say they will vote to override Gov. Bev Perdue's budget veto.

Rep. William Brisson and Rep. Dewey Hill are among the five Democrats in the House who voted for the budget. Four are needed to override the veto.

I doubt Perdue would have vetoed the budget without assurances that she had the votes to block an override of her veto but there is the chance that she sees no political harm in having her veto overridden if she makes gains in solidifying her base.

Oklahoma House Overrides Governor's Veto of Opt out of ObamaCare Bill:

Oklahoma's Governor Henry vetoed a bill that would have allowed Oklahoma to opt out of ObamaCare. Like Bev Purdue, he believes weakening the state he represents is good for his state.

Unlike NC, though, Oklahoma has a house that represents the people of the state and Oklahoma's house has voted to override their Governor's veto. Good. Unfortunately, in the Oklahoma senate the result may not be so positive.

The fact that Oklahoma has representatives enough to put their pro ObamaCare representatives on record as being pro ObamaCare is a wonderful thing, as many will likely loose their seats as a result.

NC does not have this advantage.
