Gov. Robert Ehrlich rejected the General Assembly?s electricity rate relief plan Thursday afternoon, saying it didn?t give consumers enough choice and forced them to pay interest.

The governor announced his veto in a letter to Senate President Thomas “Mike” Miller. The legislature will convene at noon today to vote whether to make the bill law despite Ehrlich?s objections.
