TN House OVERRIDES Governors veto of HB0962

The Tennessee House of Representatives re-passed HB0962, the "restaurant carry bill", by a vote of 69-27 to override the veto handed down by Gov. Phil Bredesen. 

The bill which passed the senate by a vote of 26-7 before being sent to the governor which he vetoed, needs only a majority vote in both chambers of the assembly according to the state constitution. 

Thank you to all of our representatives that have kept the balance of power in tact in the state of Tennessee. The bill which initially passed with more than a 2/3 vote of support in both houses, now awaits it's second vote in the senate.

To our senators, vote to override. Respect the constitutional right of Tennesseans.
