Mayor Rusty Paul said the 20th anniversary of the City of Sandy Springs could also be considered its 50th, depending on how you view the decades-long effort to take local control from Fulton County.
ATLANTA — The Fulton County Commission batted around legislative priorities Oct. 15 in advance of the Georgia General Assembly’s session beginning in early January. The purpose is to isolate on issues the county wants its state senators and representatives to pursue under the Gold Dome. The proposed legislative agenda will be finalized at the commission’s Nov. 5 meeting, according to External Affairs Director Jessica Corbitt. In developing Fulton County’s legislative priorities, Corbitt said she met with high-ranking county staff and commissioners before attending the state’s Association County Commissioners meeting early this month. The top three priorities are to increase judicial resources for the Fulton County Superior Court, to oppose any legislation diminishing local control and to support an amendment to the Georgia Taxpayer Bill of Rights to allow online publication of millage rate advertisements. Officials in North Fulton cities have cited their own concerns with the county’s Rice Street jail and the pace of criminal prosecutions.
