$4 million at stake over Georgia's seat belt law

Excerpt from the Augusta Chronicle - READ THE FULL STORY HERE

"The economy might give Georgia legislators the extra push they need to require adults in pickups to wear seat belts -- changing the law would instantly give the state about $4 million in federal highway funds."

"I don't necessarily think we ought to do it for the federal money," Governor Perdue said. "But the kids I'm concerned about are those that are in modern-day pickups, when they get a crowd of friends in there, and they're fooling around."
