I-Team: Governor's Road Home

ATLANTA (MyFOX ATLANTA) - A three-month FOX 5 I-Team investigation learned that Georgia taxpayers will spend $100 million to widen a state highway through Governor Sonny Perdue's hometown of Bonaire. The new highway will also run right along property owned by the Governor.

Project records show that Governor Perdue was actively involved in deciding where the road would go.

For years, budget problems have plagued the DOT. Road projects have been killed and construction has ground to a halt.

All the while, the DOT was working on widening a road that could be a financial windfall for the governor and demolish the homes of some of his old neighbors.
