Public hearings held for Fulton budget feedback

The Fulton County Commission is holding a series of public hearings for feedback and suggestions on the 2013 budgets for the 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 deficit in the general fund next year.

In Atlanta, hearings will be held Tuesday at 10 a.m. at the Harriett G. Darnell Senior Multipurpose Facility, 677 Fairburn Road, N.W.; and Wednesday at 6 p.m. at the Helene S. Mills Senior Multipurpose Facility, 515 John Wesley Dobbs Ave.
