Lawmakers Sign Off on Budget Compromise

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) - With deals approved on property taxes, House members finally agreed to sign off on a budget compromise Wednesday.

Within a couple of hours, the Senate gave final approval to the six-point-six billion dollar-spending plan. The House was took up those bills, too.

But the Legislature is still going to have to come back in the next couple of weeks to deal with a pile of vetoes Governor Mark Sanford is expected to unleash on the spending plan. That extra time costs around $50,000 a day if
legislators voluntarily return and $80,000 daily if the governor orders them back.
