"Kasich Breaks With GOP, Keeps Renewable Energy Standards"

"In a victory for clean energy advocates, Gov. John Kasich Tuesday again broke with fellow Ohio Republicans, vetoing their attempt to put a halt to the state's requirements that utility companies get more and more energy from renewable sources.

Kasich had already vetoed Republican lawmakers' attempt to limit abortions in Ohio to the first six weeks of gestation, a measure he said would be struck down by federal courts.

The veto set off a barrage of press releases. Environmental groups cheered the news. But others - including statehouse Republicans who had passed the bill - weren't so happy."
