Lawmakers agree to slow down and wait for stimulus.

The State House and Senate have agreed to meet only 3 days a week for the next 7 week.
They hope to have a state budget by then, but if they don't, they'll come back in June. House Marjority Leader Jerry Keen says,

"This will allow us enough flexibility to respont what will or will not come from Washington."

State lawmakers had vowed to balance a state budget that's 2.2. billion dollars short without money from a possible federal stimulus. But January revenue figures released today show that Georgia is over 250 million dollars short from January of last year.
