It turned into a call to fellow Republicans across the country to stand by its convictions as the fiscally prudent Party. By an overwhelming majority, the Fulton County Republican Party (FultonGOP) voted to approve a petition that was written by FultonGOP members and approved by its Executive Committee.

While Fulton County Schools' budget for the new school year includes no teacher furloughs, it also provides few program funding increases. In a unanimous vote, the school board gave final approval on Tuesday to an $819.5 million general fund budget for the 2011-12 school year. The budget provides funding for an anticipated 1,600 additional students and the teachers and support staff needed to accommodate the growth. It also does not include any furlough days for employees, and if the proposed millage rate is approved, there will be no property tax increase for most homeowners. “This budget is an indication that the state and local financial landscape is improving,” said Robert Avossa, superintendent of the Fulton County School System, in …
