Democrats call for probe
of Perdue's Fla. land deal•ATLANTA - Democratic legislative leaders on Wednesday asked a federal prosecutor and Georgia's attorney general to investigate Gov. Sonny Perdue's $2 million Florida land purchase from a wealthy Republican developer. In a letter filed with U.S. Attorney General David Nahmias and state Attorney General Thurbert Baker, the Democrats said a probe was needed to determine whether Perdue provided any illegal benefits to Newnan developer Stanley Thomas. They also asked authorities to look into legislation Perdue signed soon after the December 2004 land purchase that allowed him to avoid some $100,000 in state capital gains taxes.
