Gov. blasts DOT, accuses agency of breaking law

Associated Press

ATLANTA (AP) - Gov. Sonny Perdue is blasting the state's transportation department for refusing to change its accounting practices.

Perdue is calling the move illegal, irresponsible and in defiance of the state auditor.

He says the agency's decision has hobbled the state's ability to refinance $22 million in outstanding bonds for road projects.

The Department of Transportation met Thursday and voted 8-3 not to reverse a change in its accounting practices - a decision that could affect how road project dollars are spent. The board will delay the change until July 1 and is consulting Attorney General Thurbert Baker on the matter.

Haiti to resettle 400,000 quake victims to camps

Haitian president Rene Preval (C) along with his wife (L) Elisabeth Débrosse Delatour meet with Dr. Barth Green, (R) Chairman of the Department of Neurosurgery at the University of Miami, as he brings a team of doctors to help with disaster victims on January 13, 2010 in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. Planeloads of rescuers and relief supplies headed to Haiti as governments and aid agencies launched a massive relief operation after a powerful earthquake that may have killed thousands. US President Barack Obama ordered a swift and aggressive US rescue effort, while the European Union activated its crisis systems and the Red Cross and United Nations unlocked emergency funds and supplies for the destitute nation. Much of Port-au-Prince was reduced to rubble by the 7.0-strong quake on January 12 but the airport was operational, opening the way for international relief aid to be ferried in by air as well as by sea.
