Fulton County’s Board of Commissioners has denied Fani Willis’s plea for additional funding after she reportedly threw a temper tantrum threatening to sue them if they didn’t acquiesce to her demands. Willis went so far as to claim that “people will die” unless they hand her more taxpayer money, according to documents obtained by Capital B News, which covers “how Black people experience Atlanta today.”
“It is some hard medicine to have to swallow,” Fulton County commissioner Bridget Thorne said before the board voted 5 – 2 in favor of a more financially conservative 2025 budget.
Previously, in a December 11 letter addressed to the county commissioners, Willis warned that if she didn’t get her way, she might have to pursue legal action, including launching a lawsuit against the board, in order to receive sufficient funding for the Fulton County District Attorney’s Office—or else “people will die” as a consequence of budgetary cuts.
“Without adequate funding to properly serve the citizens of this County, we have to explore legal remedies which includes filing a lawsuit against the Board of Commissioners to seek a budget consistent with the number and nature of cases this office handles,” Willis wrote. “Hear me clearly: if you enact the proposed budget: people will die [Emphasis in original].”
She told the county commissioners: “You are now on notice.”
Though she didn’t stipulate exactly how much extra cash she wants, the Democrat DA’s threat referenced her request to restore staffing levels, which were reduced by 20 percent in 2024.
How much of her budget did she waste trying ti prosecute Trump? She should have applied to USAID.
What a worthless piece of **it. How is she still working?
