Sen. Chap Petersen just reported not too long ago that the Governor's amendments to the "tank farm" legislation were voted down 23-17 in the Senate. That's great news.
Now the legislation goes back to the Governor where he can either sign or veto it. I hope that he will sign it as the General Assembly has now spoken twice on this and have said they want the underlying legislation that will require the "tank farm" owners to upgrade their facilities in 10 years.
The Governor is a smart guy and this is legislation that's good for Virginia. I hope he does the right thing and signs the bill.
