UPDATE: Fulton commission rejects veteran funding again

Tom Haynes reports from the newsroom as Aungelique Proctor listens in on the Fulton County Commission debate. For the sixth time in 2025, commissioners voted down the proposed $1 million program for veteran housing, job placement, and support services. The measure failed 3–1, with officials citing disorganization within the Veterans Empowerment Commission and a need for clearer accountability on how funds would be used. Leaders may reconsider in the future, but it’s unclear if the proposal will return for a seventh vote.
