TLANTA -- While other southeastern states were asking for help with gas shortages, Gov. Sonny Perdue waited a week before requesting a waiver freeing up extra gas for Georgia.

Officials in Kentucky asked on Monday, Sept. 15, for a waiver from the Environmental Protection Agency to lift restrictions requiring special gas. It was granted the following day.

Virginia and Tennessee also asked for similar waivers after Hurricanes Gustav and Ike struck the Gulf Coast, knocking out oil refineries.

On Sept. 22, a week after Kentucky's request, Gov. Perdue sent a letter to the EPA. The agency granted the waiver for Georgia the next day.

Gov. Perdue left Saturday on a week-long economic development mission to Spain, Portugal and Italy.

1. Nice to know that our fearless leader
will be vacationing in Spain, Portugal, and Italy.

Oh no wait, it is a business trip for economic development, how silly of me to confuse the two.
