GOP lawmakers save Kemp from rare threat of a veto override
Georgia Republicans blocked a Democratic attempt to override Governor Brian Kemp's veto of a Republican-sponsored bill requiring specific funds for state agencies to be kept in separate accounts. The bill, vetoed by Kemp for interfering with executive oversight, was one of 12 vetoes this year. The veto override attempt, the first since 2008, was thwarted by the bill's Republican sponsor, who stated implementation discussions with the governor were ongoing.
