the governor can sign non-binding deals all day long, they are meaningless as others have pointed out. he doesn't need any bills passed or funding to sign a piece of paper that commits nobody to anything and everybody to nothing. 
which is what he just did, and if you want proof, ask for a copy and read it yourself. your proof will be when they don't give you a copy. if we can't read it for ourselves, then we have to believe what they tell us, which is that happy days are here and we're closer now than we have ever been (which, if you assume a line will eventually get built, is true every new day even if you don't do anything, which is guess is what happened to make us closer now than we have ever been)
wasn't this the gov that promised all of the gasline agreements would be public? I guess he meant gasline agreements that everyone else but him signed. not the first time a political hack touted rules that only applied to others. 
can't wait to reelect him!
