Georgia Governor Perdue faced questions over Florida land deal
Georgia Governor Sonny Perdue spent 2.04 million to buy about 20 acres near Disney World from Fourth Quarter Properties and a Georgia donor. Democrats questioned possible improper influence while Perdue cited conflict avoidance and environmental factors. The land value was appraised much lower, and nearby development, including a new toll road, could raise future value.
