Legislature approves budget and grocery tax cuts amid veto threat
In under three hours the House and Senate moved a $5.6 billion budget and a plan to cut grocery sales tax to 3 percent in 2003 and end in 2006. Gov. Jim Hodges threatens to veto non budget bills, with adjournment set to June 28 and redistricting planned for August and September. The tax cut faces heavy opposition from Democrats and potential override hurdles.
