The same old story – new edition. The Fulton County Commission, still facing prison sentences for contempt of Federal Judge Shoob’s orders, is still talking. But, to their credit, more county departments have been added to the discussion. As long-time commissioner Tom Lowe is quoted – “We’re not gaining on the problem. As the days roll by and years roll by. It’s getting worse.” The most recent story at AJC.
