According to the Associated Press, the biggest story in Georgia was the Governor's veto of the $142 million property tax break compromise between the two bodies of the state legislature:

[I]f there was a political play of the year, it was Perdue's veto of a tax cut championed by House Republicans, which touched off a bitter feud with House Speaker Glenn Richardson.

In a non-election year, where little drama was expected under the state Capitol's Gold Dome, observers witnessed a full-blown GOP family feud.

Perdue's chief spokesman scolded the House for throwing a "temper tantrum." A visibly irate Richardson blasted the governor for showing his "backside."

It would be easy to write the episode off as petty insider politics. But the standoff also had a real impact: GOP leaders were unable to deliver the significant new tax relief they promised.

Perdue's veto meant that Georgia's 1.9 million homeowners didn't receive a $142 million one-time property tax refund. The refund checks were expected to range between $60 to $100 per household.

"The upshot is that there should have been tax relief and there wasn't," said Jared Thomas, executive director of the Georgia chapter of Americans for Prosperity, an anti-tax group.

Thomas' group has launched a petition drive to ensure that the $142 million be returned to taxpayers through some form of tax relief, rather than being spent on government programs. Perdue funneled the money into the state's reserve fund, which now totals more than $1.5 billion.
