Governor Perdue,

With all the discounts that are offered state employees, why do we not receive a discount for lodging, etc. at state parks (i.e. Red Top Mountain)?

The Team Georgia Connection offers a wide variety of discounts to state employees, ranging from electronics to entertainment to sporting events.

While no lodging discounts are currently offered, state employees and retirees can take advantage of a discount program for Georgia State Park’s eight golf courses located throughout the state.  Click Here for more details.

What is the state policy for using water to keep state vehicles clean?

As a large consumer of water, the state government will continue to lead by example in promoting water conservation practices.

In 2008, I issued an executive order challenging state agencies to reduce water usage by five percent by the year 2010 and by two percent annually until the year 2020.  This includes all state entities and encompasses the state’s fleet of vehicles as well.

By conserving water together, we can lower the costs associated with water usage and ensure that the generations after us will inherit an ample supply of clean water.
