Gov. Mike Easley is widely expected to veto a bill to provide incentives to the Goodyear tire company.

If so, it would be the eighth veto he's made — as well as the eighth in North Carolina history, since he is the first governor to use the veto.

As this list shows, Easley has vetoed bills on a wide variety of issues: Making legislative appointments, changing mortgage lending laws, changing teacher certification, compensating billboard owners, changing teacher certifications, selling an airport site to Currituck County for a dollar and granting access to state buildings to employees associations.

Correction: An earlier version of the post incorrectly said that Easley was the first governor to have veto power. He is the first governor to use the veto.
