requires every state agency to be thoroughly analyzed every 10 years. Georgia should also consider creating an independent privatization commission that will make recommendations to lead in this initiative. Under Governor Sonny Perdue’s administration, the One Georgia Authority was created and successfully divested many state assets. We should take an important next step to consider agency consolidation options. Earlier this year, Governor Perdue vetoed an agency sunset bill. So I have pre-filed a similar bill for the 2011 legislative session because I believe we must reduce both the size of government and state spending. Tax increases should really never be an option, especially if privatization and agency sunset options have not been fully explored.
Food pairing: rich cheses, desserts (peaches, pears and apple). Beerenauslese: (Berries Select Picking) These grapes are picked out individually from the grape bunches. This level of wine becomes truly sweet. These are the very rich dessert wines for which Germany is noted. Food pairing: Foie Gras, desserts. Trockenbeerenauslese: (Dry Berries Select Picking) The harvest of selected individual grapes that are overripe and shriveled like raisins. These wines are rich and resemble the sweetness of honey. These will be the most expensive wines. Food pairing: Salty cheese (i.e. Blue), fruit desserts and Foie Gras. If you have not tried a German Riesling in a while, give it another try! It is a great, versatile food-friendly wine.
