Editor's note: Hello, Georgia. In today's schedule of articles from the Georgia Online News Service, we have an incisive look at the state's budget crisis by Tom Opdyke. Local officials use terms such as "devastating" to describe the $2 billion in proposed cuts. On an equally dismal front - prospects for the Braves in 2009 - veteran columnist Paul Kaplan explains why the best we can expect is "middle of the pack." And GONSO's Publisher Jon Sinton pens a column commenting that for good reporting on the nation's crumbling infrastructure, forget Big Media. You'll find that reporting - news that's critical for all of us - only in publications such as Popular Mechanics (and, of course, GONSO).
Thanks,
John Sugg
