Yeah the bastards in the house passed it 57 to 41!!! I WANT NAMES!
Tuesday, March 20, 2007 House votes to override veto The Alabama House of Representatives voted 57-41 this afternoon to override Gov. Bob Riley's veto of the Legislature's 62 percent pay raise.
The House needed 53 votes to assure the override.
The Senate may take up the issue later today.

I also have some audio of John Rogers babbling like an idiot. I will provide some audio snippets of the senate vote, including comments made by Hank Erwin I believe and the comments afterward. Duly noted that Hank said he would, under no certain terms would accept the increase if it did occur. Another Senator (Mr. Little) brought up some rules in relation to pay after the vote and stated that the senators did not have to accept the increase, BISHOP then got on and said that he would take the money, since he didn't want to leave it with the "other Senator" to use I presume, and would give it to worthy charities. Bishop suggested that they decrease the Lobby stipened from $250 to $50...I guess he still want's that steak dinner.
There is also a rather quirky comment made by a Senator earlier in the session...I will keep that a surprise but it is worth hearing.
Correction: Bishop not Erwin got on and said he would accept the money and give it to charities as I described above.
