I’m not sure about this – I believe they never have paid. I will defer to you if you have a better source.

It is not a given that such a decision would made, but it is a very real possibility. Given that DeKalb County did pay the proceeds out the first few years of the agreement and then elected to no longer abide by the signed agreement helps the suing parties.

Hopefully this GSC decision will be the final ruling — with no more appeals.

But I can’t help but wonder how much in Legal Fees the City and County have racked up in a 10 year fight with 3 appeals to the state Supreme Court. If this were a dispute between private parties, it would have been settled a LONG time ago. The law firms are the only ones that win on this issue.

DeKalb County ain’t got no money. The state ain’t got no money. We’s broke.
