Veto Governor Perry?

Governor Rick Perry vetoed many things today. It must be the gas drilling industry's birthday. Read what the word on the street is below.

When will it stop?

"HB2572 does nothing more than remove a city's right to refuse access under or along public streets and/or rights of way. With this legislation (as I read it) makes the pipeline under properties on Carter Avenue....or any city street....a certainty. This legislation even removes the necessity of the "gas corporation" to be a public utility".

"Remember we warned you, and you can bet with the current city leadership, we will not sue the state over this BS!
"

"I think you are exactly right. It sounds to me like this also includes parkland or any other public property. No more getting council approval for anything to do with pipelines. By signing one bill and vetoing the other Perry gave the best gift possible to the industry."
