Attempt at Overriding Rendell's Vetoes

According to Patriot-News journalist Charlie Thompson, the Senate Republicans will attempt to override Governor Rendell's vetoes of several line items in Senate Bill 850 (the state budget, a.ka. the "bridge budget"). A veto override requires a two-thirds vote of both the state House and Senate, which would mean 33 Senators and 135 Representatives. Republicans currently have 29 voting Senators and 97 voting Representatives, meaning they'll need significant help from Democrats in both chambers for veto override efforts to succeed.
