| Description | Gov. Mark Sanford said House members acted recklessly when they took only two hours to override all but one of his 106 state budget vetoes with little or no debate on Wednesday.
Sanford said he questioned whether it was election-year politics driving lawmakers to rely too much on one-time money or funds that may not materialize.
The lone sustained veto was over a plan to transfer control of the State Accident Fund to the Department of Insurance.
"The idea of saying we're not going to debate any of these issues... is a bit reckless," said Sanford, who said his administration took a lot of care when considering the vetoes.
House Speaker David Wilkins, R-Greenville, and House Ways and Means Chairman Bobby Harrell, R-Charleston, defended their version of the budget against the governor's vetoes.
