A proposal to raise salaries for Georgia's judges is receiving a bipartisan push, but what appeared to derail the idea earlier this year -- a lack of support from Gov. Sonny Perdue -- is a potential obstacle.

As the House began debating a bill on July 1 to modernize the financial services industry, it appeared that Congress, weary of 20 years of failure, was moving to allow banks, securities firms and insurance companies to merge with one another. The Senate approved similar legislation on May 6.
