Printer-friendly version

One Republican candidate for governor says he's making it his mission to fix Georgia's budget problems. Tuesday, candidate Eric Johnson announced the steps he wants to take to reform the state's budget process. He says if elected, state agencies will be more open, and only spend the amount of money they have through a zero-based budgeting system. He also wants to set up a Back to Basics Commission to make sure state agencies are staying on task with their budgets.

Johnson wants private business leaders and community representatives to serve on this Back to Basics commission, to hold state leaders accountable.
