What does this mean?

If it passes floor vote and Gov. accepts it EB will be restored. the previous CR was for 1 year

Didn't she say she would veto something like this? Is there anyway a veto could be overturned?

maybe enough dems will vote for it. it is only 3 months thats 9 off the one that got vetoed

Thanks, NCEB

Because the Senate already has a veto proof majority and the House budget passed with the votes of enough democrats to make it veto proof, there is a good chance that this will pass even if Perdue does veto it.

I just skimmed the bill and it appears that they left themselves an out to the EB altogether if the Federal Government passes the bill that would allow states a choice to use the money to pay off state debt versus paying the benefits to the unemployed. Check out Section 8.(c)

I find it hard to believe that would pass the senate and an Obama veto
