The NC House met under cover of darkness in the wee hours of this morning to override Gov. Bev Perdue's veto of their disastrous, immoral budget. It's likely they didn't want to wait for the light of day because today is a teacher lobbying day in Raleigh, and they didn't have to courage to talk to these dedicated educators and then go slash their budgets. I'm sure Republican leaders wanted to be certain no one was swayed by pleas and real stories of need from teachers. So, with the Senate poised to override the veto, it looks like this immoral budget will be what we have to live with for the next two years.
