Gov. Perdue bought 101 acres without disclosing it as required by state law.
Saturday's AJC will run this story:


"Gov. Sonny Perdue took office in 2003 after campaigning for greater transparency in state government. But within months, he bought 101 acres next to his home in Houston County without disclosing it as required by state law.

The omission obscured a conflict of interest Perdue faced in 2004 when the state had to decide whether to protect a major tract of conservation forest abutting the governor's land.

The state decided it couldn't afford to buy the pristine forest, which wound up instead in private hands.

2. I would like to see some statistics for Repub campaign managers
running afoul of the law in late October. I suspect it's a dang epidemic.

Hi Bury! We're gonna put together another get together real soon.
