Statement on Governor’s Veto of House Bill 198

Raleigh, N.C. — Senate Transportation Committee Chairs Sens. Michael Lazzara (R-Onslow), Tom McInnis (R-Moore), and Vickie Sawyer (R-Iredell) released the following joint statement on Gov. Roy Cooper’s veto of House Bill 198, “DOT Legislative Changes.-AB”:

“House Bill 198 is bipartisan, compromise legislation that the governor’s own transportation agency helped put together. Gov. Cooper’s partisan veto of this bill shows he values his relationship with Green New Deal liberal advocacy groups more than implementing good policy. We look forward to overriding Gov. Cooper’s latest misguided veto.”
