THREE LIMBS VERIFY AND ONE IS WRONG IN THE EARLIER MANUSCRIPT. VERIFIES: 'Overnight, 16,000 traffic police were fired, replaced a few months later with 2,300 new' patrol police. VERIFIES: 'In 2010, only 2 percent of Georgia's population reported paying a bribe.' VERIFIES WITH A TIGHTER ATTRIBUTION: an October 2010 International Republican Institute poll 'shows that 84 percent of respondents had confidence in the police, up from just 10 percent in 2003', so it is one named poll on one date rather than a general finding. CORRECTION: the earlier manuscript gives tax revenue rising from 12 per cent of GDP to 26. THE STUDY SAYS 25. VERBATIM: 'In 2003, Georgia's tax base included just 80,000 taxpayers, and tax collections brought in just 12 percent of GDP. By 2010, the income tax base had increased to about 252,000 taxpayers, and collections represented 25 percent of GDP.' FURTHER MATERIAL AVAILABLE AND STRONGER THAN WHAT IS IN USE: 1,110 local governments consolidated into 69; the number of taxes cut from 22 to 5; e-filing at almost 80 per cent of returns by 2011; electricity collections up from 22 per cent of billings in 2004 to 95 per cent.
