FY2003 Georgia Governor's Budget Report

All of the original documents are very large PDF files on the GeorgiaNet site linked from http://www.georgia.gov/00/article/0,2145,4802_0_11791639,00.html. The documents on the state site are enormous, so we indexed and extracted sections for ease of browsing below. (To view these files you will need to install the free Adobe Acrobat^® Reader.

We would also like to point our visitors to an excellent paper by Alan Essig at the Fiscal Research Program of the Andrew Young School of Policy Studies at Georgia State University: A Decade of Budget Growth: Where Has the Money Gone?.
