Snow in metro Atlanta: Fulton County offices open late

February 29, 2014 Atlanta - Picture shows The Fulton County Justice Center in downtown Atlanta on Friday, February 29, 2014. Fulton County will spent $1.3 million this year on critical repairs needed at its leaky, moldy Government Center downtown. But neglect of other county facilities already has cost Fulton taxpayers more than $400,000 in emergency repairs over the last year, an Atlanta Journal-Constitution investigation shows. The money paid for quick fixes to leaks, mold, rodents and other problems at the Fulton County Justice Center and other facilities. Because they were approved to address emergencies, all of the contracts were awarded without competition. HYOSUB SHIN / HSHIN@AJC.COM
