Who voted 'no?'

Eight members of the House voted against overriding Gov. Mike Easley's veto of a wide boats bill.

Those members are:

Alice Bordsen, D-Alamance

Susan Fisher, D-Buncombe

Sandra Spaulding Hughes, D-Wilmington

Verla Insko, D-Orange

Maggie Jeffus, D-Guilford

Paul Luebke, D-Durham

Mickey Michaux, D-Durham

Jennifer Weiss, D-Wake

In the Senate, Ed Jones, D-Halifax, voted against override, but Jones' vote was not recorded because he paired his vote with the absent Doug Berger, D-Franklin. Under the Senate's rules, Jones can cast Berger's vote for him, but it means neither vote is recorded.

The House and Senate roll call votes are below.

Insert the "I will when he will". When someone spends every comment comparing me and my party to the KKK its deeply offensive, not just because I am jewish. So until FFC is banned, I will continue to insult if its justified. And his lies justify it.

You're talking about facts, neocons don't believe in facts, just truthiness.

Keep it up FFC, keep lying through your teeth, only God will judge you for being a liar.

You are an idiot.

8 people voted against this bill in the house. Jones was the only one in the senate (with the pairing.

That means of the NINE people who voted against the veto override, ALL NINE were Democrats. Zero. Let me repeat. ZERO Republicans voted against the veto override. Oh, and the bill was initially vetoed by Mike Easley, a Democratic Governor who you have repeatedly lampooned.

You are a fool.

WHY is this bill the one that gets attention when SO many other issues are WAY more important? Just goes to show ya the mentality of democrackkk crooks...somebody needs a payoff here...I suspect its Sleazely.
