According to the local daily:
“The issues surrounding the transfer of the assets of the Asheville water department to a regional authority potentially raise a number of complicated inter-governmental issues,” [Governor Pat] McCrory said in a statement.
Mayor Terry Bellamy is construing this to speak in Asheville’s favor. Had McCrory vetoed the bill, then the city would lack standing to sue. Is that what Representative Tim Moffitt has meant all along about putting an end to the controversy once and for all? I apologize for missing the ingenious strategy behind the egregious legislation.
