If she doesn't sign or veto the bill by May 20, it automatically becomes law.

Canonsburg, PA | The Governor should consider the message sent to the rest of the world that North Carolina does not care about broadband if she allows the bill to become law. That would definitely be an anti-business message. |

My guess is that, as a politician, she will neither sign nor veto it but let the bill become law without her commenting on it. If she vetoed it, she runs the chance of annoying the legislature where both houses bi-partisanly passed it by large margins. If she signs it, she gets all the bad press about being a cable company lackey. Ignore it altogether and at most she just has to say she is honoring the will of the voters thru their elected representatives.

In Missouri, if the Governor doesn't sign a bill within a specified time period, it is returned to the legislature. They refer to this as a 'passive veto'. I don't know the law in North Carolina, though. |

Seems to be a propitious date. This law will be moot, as the next day it is all over anyway! 
(If you believe that sort of nonsense!)

If she's just a politician that's exactly what she'll do but it's not what a true leader would do. Favoring a handful of corporations at the expense of everyone else doing business in your state does have negative consequences. |

She's a useless sack of crap, and one of the worst Governors in the history of NC. I'm sure she'll just ignore it and allow it to become law without her signature. |

Is she any relation to the Perdue chicken family? Her ex/dead husband Gary Perdue?

Now you KNOW WHO TO VOTE OUT OF OFFICE!!
I dont' care if it's democrat or republican, these people who passed an anti competition bill for the likes of Time Warner need to have themselves REMOVED FROM OFFICE! Shake the corrupt tree and see what scum falls out!
I'll be posting late October & Early November to remind you people who fall asleep in the meantime! |

| Doesn't really matter though. Next scum who gets voted in will get paid off by whatever corp and do the same thing. |
