Gov. Perdue Planning New Antilitter Effort

ATLANTA (AP) -- The governor is launching a spruce-up Georgia campaign to try to reduce the amount of litter on the state's roads and highways. An executive order he plans to sign today will create a special Litter Abatement and Prevention Team made up of members of nearly two dozen state agencies and business groups which will be asked to develop recommendations for an antilitter campaign.

Governor Perdue says there may NOT be more litter than there used to be, but there's more than there should be. He says reducing litter will help promote tourism and economic development and may even have some impact on crime. Among other things, the anti-litter team will be asked to review existing litter control and prevention laws and regulations and recommend any changes it thinks are needed.

Maybe its just the way the article is written, but from what I gather, Governor Perdue isn't really actually doing anything about litter; he's just creating some bureaucracy to have other people figure out how to solve the problem. That in itself is not all that problematic, but to promote a campaign that in reality has no substance seems a bit egregious.
