Gov. Mike Easley said in a statement that he won't feel responsible for any harm that comes from wide boats on the roads.

"I have done what I thought was right to protect the safety of the public on our highways," Easley said through a spokesman.

"It will be the members of the General Assembly who will have on their hands the consequences of this law. I hope and pray no one gets hurt."

Easley became the first governor in state history to have a veto shot down by the legislature.
