Sports vs. Arts

I knew that the Tour de Georgia had been cancelled for lack of sponsors; I didn't know that the State of Georgia Department of Economic Development was one of those sponsors!

Page 108, Georgia Budget FY2009 - "Delete one-time funds for Tour de Georgia ($400,000)"

Page 274, Georgia Budget FY2009 - "Assist with funding of the arts for National Black Arts Festival $50,000"

The Legislature saveth and the Legislature giveth away.

Tour de Georgia - $0
National Black Arts Festival - $50,000

Atlantans reimbursed if this earmark is canceled: 100
