Fani Willis Calls Out Fulton County Commission Over Jail Conditions and Funding Needs

• Share on:

Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis criticized the Fulton County Board of Commissioners for the poor conditions at the Fulton County Jail and urged them to allocate additional funding for law enforcement agencies. At a press conference on January 15, 2024, she emphasized that without proper financing, the sheriff and her office cannot effectively perform their duties, calling on citizens to advocate for necessary budget approvals. The county is expected to adopt its 2025 budget on January 22, which may require a significant property tax increase to meet the funding requests from various justice agencies.
