Bad news, folks: North Carolina governor Bev Perdue is going to let TWC’s anti-competitive municipal broadband bill become law:
“I will neither sign nor veto this will,” Perdue said in a statement. “Instead, I call on the General Assembly to revisit this issue and adopt rules that not only promote fairness but also allow for the greatest number of high quality and affordable broadband options for consumers.”
If a governor does not veto a bill, it will automatically become law. By not signing it, Perdue is symbolically signaling her displeasure.
Or…veto it and make the Legislature try again. But that would require actually having balls and using them.
