Governor Perdue Announces January Revenue Collections 
 
Atlanta - Governor Sonny Perdue announced today that net revenue collections for the month of January 2004 (FY04) totaled $1,466,917,000 compared to $1,367,200,000 for January 2003 (FY03), an increase of $99,717,000 or 7.3%. The percentage increase year-to-date for FY04 compared to FY03 is 4.7%. 
Governor Perdue, through OPB Director Tim Connell , has asked all state agencies to institute budget expenditure restrictions. These restrictions include delaying the purchase of office supplies or other consumables, minimizing the filling of staff vacancies, closer monitoring and restriction of travel, and delaying or canceling equipment purchases. 
"Our revenue figures for the year are still below where they need to be at this time. We hope to meet our budget projections by carefully managing expenditures," said Thomas D. Hills , Georgia 's Chief Financial Officer.
