Talking Points memo has pulled up a humdinger of a scandal in Georgia. It seems like Mr. Perdue came up with a clever way of saving himself $100,000 and a clever caller got him to cop to it.
He may have found a legal avenue to "approve" himself a tax cut but it is quite obvious a massive abuse of power.

Georgia Gov. Sonny Perdue (R) has recently been nagged by a trickle of muckraking stories related to his real estate deals in the Atlanta Journal & Constitution, the most damaging of which was a column two weeks ago by Jay Bookman. The piece told how in 2005, Georgia legislators "quietly smuggled language into an otherwise routine tax bill that gave one particular Georgia taxpayer a special tax deferral worth more than $100,000." The taxpayer was, of course, Sonny Perdue, "who signed the bill into law on April 12, 2005, and shortly thereafter signed his state tax return taking advantage of that special legislation."
The 2002 election was not only a theft by corrupt souless bastards but also an easy way for these bastards to line their pockets with the TAXPAYER'S MONEY, since the money he got out of paying that so many other Georgians had to pay came out of their hide.
Well you all know the routine:
