The Board of Regents already launched their stimulus package; it was a $100 increase per student in student fees for all major universities. Sometimes projects, such as football stadiums in downtown Atlanta, need to be shelved when money is tight. It is called being fiscally responsible.

Vote Perdue out if he request this from the Federal Government. We NEED to cut the fat, that includes his and all over government who forgot whom they work for, the people. It is not right to continue to ask us to give the state money and then continue to watch our taxes rise, our utilities rise, etc. Why do we keep these people in office who vote for their own increases in salaries and bonuses. These people serve us, cut the fat! Start asking your representatives where your stock certificates are for the companies you now OWN on a Federal level. You think that is absurd? Why not, YOU are paying for it and will continue to pay full retail price for all goods and services. We the taxpayer are going to get screwed by government officials!
