Second in a series on the State's financial mess. California is unbelievable! This is what happens when you give liberal Dems full control. Georgia has conservative Dems Nope. Best read your own postings. Why are Georgia and California so different? It's not politics: Both have long been ruled by Democrats. It's not the economy: Both experienced a boom in the 1990s, followed by a crash two years ago. If not politics or the economy, then what is it? Georgia's governor probably has more power over spending than any other governor. Like governors in 42 other states, Georgia's chief executive can veto all or part of a budget. But this governor's golden hammer is something more obscure: the constitutional authority to estimate how much revenue the state will have to spend. The governor picks a number. The Legislature cannot spend a penny more. So says Dennis Cauchon, writing in USA Today. As for whether that's a good argument or not, who knows.
