COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) – The House has overridden Gov. Nikki Haley’s veto of a bill to send $40 million in aid to South Carolina farmers who lost their crops in last year’s massive floods.
The 112-2 vote on Tuesday was well over the two-thirds margin needed and sends the veto on to the Senate.
House Ways and Means Chairman Brian White says interest payments on bonds given to industries like Volvo would be more than enough to cover the losses from farmers.
