House Speaker Glenn Richardson regrets getting angry during the budget battle a few months ago.
The already-heated debate took on a new tone when Richardson said that Governor Sonny Perdue was “showing his backside” by vetoing a supplemental budget bill and line-item deleting some budget items. Richardson tells the Savannah Morning News that while he shouldn’t have gotten so angry, if he did it again he still doesn’t know how he could stop himself.
Richardson says the legislature worked on the budget for four months, and that lawmakers were blindsided when Perdue announced he would call a special session to pass another budget. Richardson said he has apologized to Perdue for getting personal.
