“The Governor’s address reiterates the importance of building a stronger Georgia by creating a leaner, more efficient government. Like many Georgia families and small businesses, we must make tough decisions in order to balance our checkbook. I am committed to working with both the Governor and the House to do what is best for Georgians in these tough economic times.”
Sen. Tommie Williams (R-Lyons)
Senate President Pro Tempore
“Governor Perdue’s speech is a reminder that in light of tough economic times, we should be thankful that we resisted the temptation in recent years to spend excess revenue. The decision to build up our rainy day fund to more than $1 Billion will prevent us from having to make even more serious cuts to essential government services.”
