Fulton waives fees for PGA Championship

On her second try, and following a debate along north-south lines, Fulton Commissioner Liz Hausmann succeeded Wednesday in getting $14,275 in inspection and permitting fees waived for the PGA Championship being held in Johns Creek in August. The vote was 5-2, with Bill Edwards and Emma Darnell dissenting.

Edwards charged that the PGA can afford $14,000, while no fees were waived for south Fulton's Wolf Creek Amphitheater grand opening earlier this month. "I am very uncomfortable with people getting fees waived by talking to politicians," Darnell said.
