South Carolina lawmakers wrap up budget vetoes and voting plan
During the wrap up session the House upheld nearly half of Gov. Sanford's 107 vetoes and overrode 56 to spare funds for technical schools libraries and health programs while sustaining 51 cuts including 29 million to the Budget and Control Board. The new nearly 5 billion budget takes effect July 1 with anticipated layoffs and furloughs. Voter ID talks stalled after a three day filibuster and a GOP compromise created eight days of early voting at one location per county with limited absentee voting.
