ATLANTA — Gov. Sonny Perdue has signed the $17.1 billion amended budget covering the remainder of the fiscal year that ends June 30.
The spending plan is $1.5 billion lower than had originally been budgeted. Perdue and legislators were forced to hack state spending following 15 consecutive months of plunging tax collections.
The budget has forced most state employees to take unpaid furlough days.
Perdue said Thursday that the state has "managed through the worst economic downturn of our generation and protected the core mission of state government."
The Republican governor didn't use his line item veto power to strike items he didn't like in the plan.
