South Carolina House Moves to Override Haley Vetoes
The South Carolina House voted 103 to 6 to override most of Gov. Nikki Haley's vetoes, including a $2 million line for elderly caregiver programs as part of roughly $18 million reduced from the $7 billion budget. A two thirds vote is required for overrides, and lawmakers also kept a $12,000 raise for lawmakers that would not take effect for at least four years.
