(You will need to register for a free user account to comment.)

The budget includes $24.3 million for the following subsidized agencies: Association of Retarded Citizens, Atlanta Regional Commission, Barrier Free, Children Shelter, Council for Seniors, DFACS, Forestry, Board of Health, Human Services Coalition, Indigent Medical Care, Latin American Association, Library, Library Audits/Maintenance, Mental Health and Metro Atlanta United Way.
