NC House Overrides Gov's Budget Veto

Passage of a budget in NC seemed to be at a stand-still after Governor Cooper vetoed the budget earlier this year and both sides were unable to agree on Medicaid expansion.  Then a Wednesday morning vote was held that angered Democrats in the chamber.  The N.C. House of Representatives voted to override Gov. Roy Cooper’s veto of the state budget as just over half of the 120 members were present to vote due to some being away working on redistricting voting maps. NC House speaker Tim Moore tells reporters that it was his decision to call for a vote on the morning of Sept. 11overriding the Governor's veto of the House budget. Now the focus is on the state senate, where Republicans need one Democrat to join their ranks to officially override the veto.
