ATLANTA (AP) Gov. Nathan Deal says he will propose the consolidation or elimination of some state agencies in his 2013 budget proposal, looking to further trim state government.
Deal told The Associated Press on Thursday he expects the moves will save money and acknowledges the likely loss of some public sector jobs but didn't offer specifics. Deal will present his 2013 budget next week to state lawmakers, who will be gathering for the start of the legislative session.
Among the changes Deal is proposing the elimination of the state Personnel Administration, which oversees the state's human resources.
Deal also wants to privatize Georgia's aviation services and sell some of the state's aircraft. He also wants to transfer the Sexual Offender Review Board to a new division at the Georgia Bureau of Investigation.
