Court Sides with Taxpayers
(AJC) — The Georgia Supreme Court on Monday revived a lawsuit that claims a number of luxury Atlanta development projects have received unconstitutional tax breaks, costing the county millions of dollars in lost revenue. The 4-3 decision is a victory for John Sherman, president of the Fulton County Taxpayers Foundation. He filed the suit last year and appealed the case to the state Supreme Court after a Fulton judge dismissed it. “It’s a wonderful ruling for the taxpayers,” Sherman said. “Giving 50-percent tax abatements to projects in wealthy areas like Midtown and Buckhead is an abomination of state law.”
