Eh, not signing a bill which would retroactively block an active construction project seems like a reasonable objection

I know lying is like breathing in the US, but the project is not active by any definition. It's approved, but only slated for a groundbreaking in July.

Stopping construction on The Climate Destroying Machine is bad for investors. Think of the jobs lost by that. Not to mention all the jobs we already lost by closing The Child Grinder Factory.
