The Fulton County Board of Commissioners Wednesday postponed tough decisions on their 2012 budget, including a decision on funding for Grady Memorial Hospital.
Commissioners voted 4-2 to advertise a tentative budget that includes a $25 million cut in Grady funding, plus steep cuts to libraries, senior programs and other services. But they made it clear those cuts may not be in the final budget they approve in January.
Chairman John Eaves has been seeking support for a proposal to create a new property tax levy specifically for Grady. That would free up existing tax money for other services. But commissioners made no decision on that proposal Wednesday.
