Perdue To Talk Stimulus With Agency Heads

Federal stimulus money starts flowing into Georgia today. An injection of around $340 million is on the way to fill the gap in Georgia’s Medicaid program. Governor Sonny Perdue’s office says eventually, the state should see about $465 million for Medicaid.

Meanwhile, Perdue is back in Georgia today following his trip to Washington for the National Governor’s Association meetings. Perdue this afternoon is scheduled to meet with state agency heads to discuss how federal stimulus money will be parceled-out to the various divisions. Georgia is expected to get $6 billion from the stimulus package.
