Budget Cuts to Hobble State Archives in Georgia; New York Times, 9/26/12

Kim Severson, New York Times; Budget Cuts to Hobble State Archives in Georgia: "The Georgia Archives, which holds both historical curiosities and virtually every important state government document ever created, is about to become nearly impossible to visit. In November, a round of government budget cuts will reduce the staff to three, one of them the maintenance man. Thousands of documents that pour in every month are likely to languish because no one will be available to sort through them, archives officials said. People who view accurate and open government records as the bedrock of democracy are outraged."
