Sonny Perdue should have been impeached over his proposed tax increase in 2003, but this is absolutely inexcusable:

Turns out the state could afford that $142 million property tax cut that Gov. Sonny Perdue vetoed after all.

State tax collections jumped $1.2 billion during the recently completed fiscal year, leaving officials with a $600 million budget surplus.

Most of the money will go into state reserves, which now stand at a record $1.2 billion.

However, collections were up 7 percent in June, and rose 7.5 percent for the fiscal year, which ended June 30. Income tax collections, which were down the month before Perdue vetoed the tax cut, rose 9.4 percent last year.

The government lines it’s pockets with money that should be returned to the taxpayers. Thanks, Sonny.
