I plan on having a homemade “Stop the Pork” sign to wave for Perdue, Saxby, and Johnny. What the heck, I may just put it on a tall stake with “Cut Spending” on the reverse and display one side or the other during every speech.

[...] As Erick mentioned, Governor Perdue is hinting at vetoing the budget. The Political Insider suggests it’s a threat meant to encourage the Legislature to “fix the problems” in the budget. I hope it is just a threat and a special session is not in the cards. [...]

Well, I’m glad to see that I’m not in the minority on the opinion about the Governor.

Though, I’m sure at the GOP Convention everyone will be kissing up to the Governor and praising him.

Besides Go Fish can anyone think of anything Sonny has stood for this session?

Last time the General Assembly overrode a veto was 1974, and that was only after Carter told them to. Perhaps they should make history once again this session.

Chris,

You must be a young-un to think that less than 10 years ago qualifies for a way-back machine. That was just yesterday (which is really close to today).

Erick, I realize that. Even still, it’s a nice dream.

Pfffft. I’ve got a screenshot of that saved Chris.

Sonny should continue to veto the budget bills until his funding priorities are met- we cannot shut down 1/4 of State Govt for 2 mos waiting for the Big Budget to take affect.

The original house budget bill was something the people of Georgia would have been proud of

[...] With the news that the Governor might veto one or both budgets over the lack of spending on this pet projects, I felt compelled to dig out the way-back machine and bring you this link. [...]

In 2010 we should elect the first Republican Governor since reconstruction.

Amen.

I’m really angry about this, but I hope it plays out as Erick has suggested.
