Controversy Surrounds Funding for Atlanta's Public Safety Training Center
TL;DR Summary
The actual cost to taxpayers for the Atlanta Public Safety Training Center is expected to be more than double what officials have continually said, due to $1.2 million in annual payments to the Atlanta Police Foundation. The foundation and city officials continued to repeat the misleading promise long after it wasn’t true. The funding discrepancies coupled with the state’s arrest of three training center opponents last week on fraud and money laundering charges have heightened the stakes of City Council’s vote.
