The South Carolina legislature easily overrode Gov. Mark Sanford's veto of the entire state budget after a two week break. The House voted 99-13 and the Senate 34-7, with leaders calling the veto unusual and pledging a leaner plan. Sanford said his veto aimed to curb growth and warned of real limits to budget manipulation.
