Supreme Court affirms Clarke County dispensary split ruling
The Supreme Court sustains the Clarke County judge in a decision that the dispensary profits for Clarke County are to be divided by the county ordinary with Athens' mayor. The ruling removes the county commissioners from the profit split and sets the division method based on taxable property, with the city holding larger shares. The case now awaits remitter action to finalize the ordinary’s division plan.
