Gov. Perdue involved in road construction?

I don't know why there is such shock at this report. Road politics have always been a mainstay in Georgia history since the paving began a century ago. But it seems a three-month FOX 5 I-Team investigation learned that Georgia taxpayers will spend $100,000,000.00 to widen a state highway through Governor Sonny Perdue’s hometown of Bonaire. The new highway will also run right along property owned by the Governor. Project records show that Governor Perdue was actively involved in deciding where the road would go. This seems brazen enough, but the crown for raod politics would have to go to Jim L. Gillis, who was Georgia's highway commissioner for many years.
