From the Augusta Chronicle:
Lt. Gov. Casey Cagle said Tuesday that Georgia should put one of its airplanes on the auction block, arguing the sale would bring in more than $1 million to help offset state budget woes.
Mr. Cagle said the 1984 Cessna Citation jet is the least active in the state Transportation Department’s seven-plane fleet and is “rarely used.”
“If this is the case considering our state is in need to cut expenses, please move forward in selling this plane,” Mr. Cagle wrote to state Transportation Board Chairman Bill Kuhlke in a letter obtained by The Associated Press.
