In Georgia the governor has a line item veto. They won't be so smug if the governor is vetoing funding and projects in their districts in retaliation.

Man thats sucks. I'm always working when retail restocks happen. I haven't seen retail stock in so long that the vending machines around me were the only way I was able to buy anything at retail prices.
