Insolvent costs swallow Dougherty County funds
A Georgia Supreme Court ruling orders all revenue from the sale or lease of misdemeanor convicts to be directed to insolvent costs of county officers. Dougherty County previously earmarked $5,000 to $8,000 annually for such costs, using felony convict labor on roads to replace school funds. The decision in Barron vs Teyrell confirms officers’ claims, and the county pays out thousands more to cover insolvent costs while seeking local input on the issue.
