Keeping north Fulton in the fold was among the issues discussed at a candidate forum Thursday evening at Northwest Presbyterian Church in Atlanta.

The three county commission candidates who appeared were peppered with questions about finances, ethics and spending, but north Fulton's bid to break away and form its own county drew much of the early attention.

"The reason the people in north Fulton are calling for creation of Milton County is because they're tired of being abused as taxpayers," said Steve Broadbent, candidate for chairman. "They're tired of their tax dollars flowing elsewhere. They're tired of having to sue for county services."
