DEL.ICIO.USThe House is now on its ninth — oops, 10th — override. Heck, they’re up to a dozen now.
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
The House just completed its seventh — you read that right — override of a veto by Gov. Sonny Perdue. We’ll shovel you the details as soon as possible. But keep in mind that you haven’t seen this in 34 years. And then it was just a pair of local bills.
And now they’ve started on an eighth. that’s passed. And now they’ve taken up the ninth one.
The Senate just adjourned, and House Speaker Glenn Richardson just made a reference to the Senate playing games and not taking the vetoes seriously.
It’s 11:20 a.m., and now they’ve taken up a 10th. And an 11th at 11:26 a.m.
And now they’re on an even dozen. No. 12 passed at 11:29 a.m.
And they’re done.

Which vetos are being overridden? Without knowing what legistlation is involved, the raw numbers you are posting are meaningless.
