State Lawmakers Override Governor's Veto

State lawmakers have voted to override Gov. Robert Bentley's veto on the General Fund budget.  Senators voted 22-10 and the House of Representatives voted 71-24 Tuesday to override Bentley and enact the spending plan against his wishes.  The governor had said the budget does not give adequate funding to the state's Medicaid program, claiming the Medicaid would have to cut services to "vulnerable" citizens and reduce reimbursement rates to doctors.  Senate President Pro Tem Del Marsh says lawmakers were not in the mood to raise taxes or cut education spending to provide more money to Medicaid.  Bentley has hinted he might call lawmakers back into special session.
