The tax rebate is an appropriation, and the Gov. has the power of the line-item veto. -- I say veto it.

The AJC's Political Insider, writing about the compromise in the House and Senate negotiations over the midyear budget that proposes $142 million in property tax rebates for Georgia homeowners, notes:
