Sanford Speaks Out Tuesday May 24, 2005 11:55pm    Posted By: Theresa Acker Do you think the U.S. needs to send more troops to Iraq?  Yes  No  Not sure ___  ABC News 4 Interact  ___    • Signup for eNews Alerts    • ABC News 4 Pulse Poll    • Whats Your Opinion?    • Printable Version    • E-Mail This Story Columbia, SC - Governor Mark Sanford (website - news) says he's encouraged by how the House is addressing his state budget vetoes.  The House took time to debate each veto on merits instead of last year's override-fest. The House sustained four vetoes and will send the 54 they overrode to the Senate. The House plans to return Wednesday to deal with the remaining 89 vetoes from the state budget and another 14 from a separate spending bill. The sustained vetoes caused South Carolina E-TV to lose about 104,000 dollars and the State Budget and Control Board was cut about 206,000 dollars. Sanford has pushed for the Legislature to be fiscally conservative even if it means axing more than 28 million dollars from public college budgets.  Most of that is expected to be put back in the budget. » Find More Articles Related To This One Copyright 2005 WCIV, LLC.
