Ga. governor's campaign chairman tied to lab siteATLANTA (AP) — Gov. Nathan Deal's campaign chairman is a partner in a development near Deal's hometown where a state commission headed by Deal decided to buy property. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution (http://bit.ly/TIEnxN ) reported that the State Properties Commission decided to place the $13.6 million State Poultry Laboratory at the planned Gateway Industrial Centre near Deal's hometown of Gainesville. Deal chairs the properties commission, and his campaign chairman, Philip Wilheit, is a partner in the 518-acre industrial park land. Wilheit and Deal told the Journal-Constitution they did nothing wrong and the state got a good location at a good price. The state is paying $690,000 for the 10-acre site. Plans for a new poultry lab began before Deal took office. State lawmakers approved bonds for the project in 2009. ___ Information from: The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, http://www.ajc.com |
