ATLANTA — Some Georgia lawmakers say if the state were collecting all the taxes it is due, they wouldn’t have had to vote last week for $1.2 billion in budget cuts for the current year.
The Georgia House passed an updated $17.4 billion budget for the 2010 fiscal year Thursday. It included cuts of about 8 percent for most state departments and three more furlough days for public employees.
