Atlanta City Council decide whether to donate taxpayer funds to community nonprofits
Members of the Atlanta City Council will soon debate and vote on whether they should be able to donate taxpayer funds to nonprofit community organizations and charities. Critics take issue with the fact that the office budgets of Atlanta City Council members exceed $100,000 annually.
Should elected officials be permitted to use public dollars to contribute to and support charities? Why or why not? If so, should there be any limitations? Is there any other way for elected officials to support community charities without using taxpayer funds?
