Legislators OK Funds To Deal With Jail Over-Crowding
On Thursday night, the legislature approved transferring $500,000 from the appropriated fund balance into the prisoner charges – other facilities budget line in order to meet the expense already incurred and to cover the estimated expenses during the remainder of 2014. In the first two months of the year, the expense to house inmates elsewhere amounted to $130,000. That exhausted the adopted 2014 budget amount of $100,000.
The Fulton Public Library is looking for people who have lived or worked in Fulton and have stories to tell about those experiences. For the second year, the library is offering its Fulton Memoir Project. The theme for this year’s project is business and education. Those interested should contact the library now to register.
