Go Casey!
By Chris Farris | March 30, 2007
The Senate removed all local projects, known as pork, from the midyear budget. Those projects include nearly $6 million for local museums, $1 million for the Tour de Georgia, $125,000 for a West Georgia tourism group, $19,000 for library equipment on St. Simons Island, and $350,000 for a new animal hospital at Zoo Atlanta.
The Senate budget also cuts out $13 million Perdue wanted for his “Go Fish Georgia” fishing tourism program, $50 million he wanted for land preservation, and $40 million to help get the Kia car plant in West Georgia up and running. (Senate cuts local projects, sets up budget showdown | ajc.com)
Good to see some spending restraint from the GOP.
