Georgia's revenues rising...always important to us

The thousands of people with disabilities waiting for help really is a issues only connected to the bottom line...how many dollars fund our supports? Right now, the amount Georgia puts to home and community based supports has fallen from 7th in the 1970s to 46th today. In order to reverse this trend in Georgia, our effots must become sophisticated to understand this bottom line...

This election year will be tied to our state's rising revenue. It will affect how our candidates run on all levels. By the numbers:

Revenue in March increased 6.5 percent over March 2005, according to a state Department of Revenue report released Monday. That is an increase of about $73.2 million. And for fiscal year 2006, which ends June 30, collections are up 9.6 percent, or $1.028 billion, over the same period in 2005.
