Money dispute threatens justice reform progress in Fulton County

Reforming the justice system has been of paramount importance to John Eaves, chairman of the Fulton County Board of Commissioners. He proposed the county take $10 million from judicial budgets to reinvest in solving the problems.

But when the courts and others said such a loss of funds would hamstring them, some of the money was returned. Now, the courts are asking for the rest back, and on Monday, Eaves plans to present an agreement that would return the funds.
