$75M in trauma care funds at risk
Wed, 20 Aug 2008 20:54:33 -0400
Georgia's budget crisis has cast doubt on the state's ability to provide millions of dollars to expand the network of hospitals that handle trauma care for car crashes, stabbings and shootings, top state officials said. "It's going to be tough," said Gov. Sonny Perdue's spokesman, Bert Brantley. "We're in a cutting mode." Such comments worry advocates who want up to $75 million annually from the state. They are gearing up a $398,000 public awareness campaign to convince state legislators trauma care is a priority.
Cities to Perdue: Don't yank tax grants
Wed, 20 Aug 2008 20:37:55 -0400
Georgia's slumping economy already has local governments cutting staff, reducing programs and raising taxes. Just the suggestion that Gov. Sonny Perdue would yank $428 million in state tax relief grants has local officials howling in protest. "I don't think any local government can just suck it up," said East Point Mayor Joe Macon, whose city got $356,478 under the program last year.
Appeals court to review power plant ruling
Wed, 20 Aug 2008 20:24:21 -0400
The Georgia Court of Appeals decided Wednesday to review a lower court's decision invalidating the state permit for a proposed coal-fired power plant in south Georgia. The ruling earlier this year by Superior Court Judge Thelma Wyatt Cummings Moore of Fulton County was the first in the nation to link coal plants to global warming, catching the national attention of environmentalists and industry leaders alike. Moore ordered the state Environmental Protection Division to rewrite the permit to limit carbon emissions and require an advanced coal technology that minimizes pollution.
