Press release from the issuing company

Gov. Sonny Perdue ordered already slimmed-down Georgia agencies this week to take another 4 percent spending cut starting in August because the state's new budget relies on federal stimulus money that may never come.
Perdue exempted K-12 schools from the latest cut, but not the university system. It will affect agencies that hand out driver's licenses, educate college students and run parks, prisons and health care programs that cover more than a 1 million Georgians. Those agencies employ about 90,000 people.
