...Richard Harden, 37, assistant for budget and organization. He headed Georgia's department of human resources, which employed half of the 50,000 people on the state payroll, and was campaign budget director...

For instance, "Two-for Day" (Wednesdays) gives you two tickets for the price of one; and the "Wildcat Escape" plan gives you two-days skiing (Mon./Tues. or Thurs./Fri.) and a night...
