State leaders are anxiously awaiting Revenue numbers for the month of June.
They will show how much Georgia has left in it’s reserves if anything.
The new fiscal year began July 1 and unlike states like California, Georgia may have enough in it’s rainy day fund to stay in the black.
But that fund has been drawn down so quickly in the last six months, that state leaders have to make decisions about the budget ahead.
Next week Governor Perdue is expected to meet with House and Senate leaders to discuss budget cuts. One thing they all want to avoid is a special session of the General Assembly to re-balance the budget.
"There are too many negatives," says Senate Appropriations Chair Jack Hill. "It would be costly."
Another negative is political says Hill. Any special session would mean lawmakers would have to cut budgets and services. It’s a task they’d rather leave to Governor Sonny Perdue who is in his second term and not running for re-election next year.
