"Don't let them fool you," she told reporters on a conference call this afternoon. "They are not protecting public classrooms." said Perdue

bevperduehead_100When asked if she would veto the budget deal, Perdue would only say she had earlier promised to veto any budget that "doesn't protect the classroom."

"I'm hoping for a miracle on Jones St. tomorrow," she said, referring to the possibility the bill could be amended during the Senate floor debate.

Perdue also said she doesn't believe last fall's election amounted to a voter mandate to "defund" state schools and universities. "The economy was the driving issue, and that’s what that election was about. You know it and I know it." 

So what will the houses do, if she decides to Veto this Budget? Do they have enough votes to Override the Veto? Better yet, will our State government be shut down, if so,what will it look like??
