UPDATE: Legislature overrides governor's veto of tax break for fracking business
By a vote of 55-41, the House today overrode Gov. Mike Beebe's veto of a $5 million tax break for suppliers of fracking sand and other materials used in the fracking process to drill for gas and oil.The Senate followed soon after, voting 26-7 to override. A public interest group may sue over the measure, which appears to have been unconstitutionally adopted.
