Fulton budget hearings held in Sandy Springs, Roswell

The Fulton County Commission is holding a series of public hearings for feedback and suggestions on the 2013 budgets for the countywide general fund and the south Fulton special services district. Commissioners are mulling possible service cuts, as Finance Director Patrick O’Connor’s last budget presentation projected a $16.4 million shortfall in the general fund next year.

In north Fulton, hearings will be held Tuesday at 1 p.m. at the Dorothy C. Benson Senior Multipurpose Complex, 6500 Vernon Woods Drive, Sandy Springs; and Tuesday at 7 p.m. at the Johns Creek Environmental Campus, 8100 Holcomb Bridge Road, Roswell.
