Fulton County Commissioners clarified this week that elected officials receiving county funds are considered employees of the county, setting the stage for ethics complaints to be heard against embattled District Attorney Fani Willis.
In a 4–2 vote with one person abstaining on April 17, the commissioners appeared to open the door for the Fulton County Ethics Board to hear complaints against Ms. Willis, whose office is funded in part by taxpayer dollars.
Previously, the ethics board dismissed two ethics complaints against Ms. Willis, saying she was a state officer and the county had no jurisdiction over her.
