The table in the above link shows a decrease in Georgia's natural spending since 2011. These facts lead me into the questions: 1. In your professional opinion, why are we seeing this decrease in natural resource spending? 2. Why does Georgia have significantly less natural resource spending than all of its neighboring states like Florida and Alabama? Sierra Club v. EPA 18cv3472 NDCA Tier 13 ED 002061 00023654-00001 3. What is the general negative impact of budget cuts to natural resources? If you or one of your colleagues could give insight into any of these questions, that would be greatly appreciated.
