THIS IS MEANT TO POINT OUT WHY WE WILL NEVER SEE THE END OF TAX INCREASES IN BIBB COUNTY AND GEORGIA! IMPORTANT TO NOTE IS THAT ATLANTA IS THE THIRD HIGHEST CRIME CITY IN THE WHOLE COUNTRY!!!!!!! THE ONLY WAY TO GET RELIEF FROM HIGH TAXES IS TO MOVE TO A LOWER CRIME RATE STATE. EVEN IF YOU LIVE IN A LOW CRIME RATE COUNTY IN GEORGIA, YOUR STATE TAXES ARE HIGHER BECAUSE MUCH OF THE STATE BUDGET FUNDS CRIME, TOO! THIS IS ALARMING, AND IT IS NOT BEING PROPERLY ADDRESSED. THE CRIMINALS THAT ARE LOCKED UP LEAVE BEING PARENTLESS CHILDREN THAT GROW UP TO BE CRIMINALS, TOO. IT IS A REPETITIVE CYCLE THAT HAS NO END IN SIGHT.
Among the Nation's 100 most populous counties in 1999, public defender programs were operating in 90 counties, assigned counsel programs in 89 counties, and contract programs in 42 counties.
Expenditures and funding sources
In 1999 an estimated $1.2 billion was spent to provide indigent criminal defense in the Nation's 100 most populous counties. About 73% of the total was spent by public defender programs, 21% by assigned counsel programs, and 6% on awarded contracts. This $1.2 billion represents an estimated 3% of all local criminal justice expenditures used for police, judicial services, and corrections in these counties.
County governments provided 60% of all funds for indigent criminal defense services in the largest 100 counties followed by State governments providing 25%.
