Thank you to the hundreds who signed the Court’s online petition to save the Fulton Justice System and to hundreds more who signed petitions at court service offices.
Fulton County Commissioners on Wednesday Jan. 20, 2010 reinstated $1.3 million to Justice System agencies and court programs. Among the funds restored to the 2010 budget on Wednesday is $150,000.00 for Drug Court, $800,000.00 to Pretrial Services for State and Superior Courts and $426,000.00 for the Circuit Public Defender’s office.
While there are cuts to the 2010 Justice System budget they are much less than what they would have if each of you had not added your voice to those who stood up for programs that reduce cost and make Fulton a safer county.

Five days and counting ...
Five days and counting until the 2010 budget is final for the Fulton County Judicial System.
Fulton Commissioners must approve the final budget Jan. 20 at their 10 a.m. meeting.
But the question remains: Will commissioners pass a budget that protects public safety, provides adequate funding for the courts and supports the requirement that Fulton's Judicial System provide access to justice for all?
