The biggest hammer in the Governor's arsenal.
In a post earlier this week the AJC's Political Insider reminded us of the leverage the Governor possesses in the upcoming special special:
Gov. Sonny Perdue has 40 days after the last session, or until May 30, to wield the biggest hammer in his arsenal — the $20 billion budget for 2008, which begins July 1. With a line item veto, he can single out specific legislators for special attention, by threatening to sink specific projects in their districts.
And then yesterday the duo penned a safe prediction:
[N]othing but lemonade and cookies will be served at the Sine Die party.
