| Description | The Georgia House took the rare step of rebuking Governor Perdue today, as infighting between Republicans dominated what was supposed to be the Legislature's final day under the Gold Dome.
In a day of fast-moving changes and short tempers, the House voted 163-to-5 to override Perdue's veto last night before of the midyear 2007 budget, raising the specter that lawmakers will be summoned back to Atlanta for a costly special session.
It was a rare move of defiance by the Republican-controlled House, whose leaders boasted the vote was the first time the chamber had voted to reverse a governor's veto of a spending plan. Yet the Senate seemed cool to the idea, setting up a possible standoff over the state's constitution. |
