Dispatch from the GA: Governor Easley Calls Them Back to Raleigh

This afternoon Governor Mike Easley has delivered a Proclamation of Reconvened Session.  The Session will convene on Wednesday, August 27, 2008 at 11:00 a.m.

The General Assembly will only be directed to take up the vote to override the Governor's veto of House Bill 2167 - Towing of Recreational Boats/Exemption.

This bill would have permitted recreational boat owners to tow boats that are 9 1/2 feet in width without a special permit.  It session did not re-convene then the bill would have become law without an override.
