SHALL ISSUE IN GEORGIA IS NOT ALWAYS SHALL ISSUE!

CHATHAM COUNTY, Ga. (WTOC) - Chatham County taxpayers have been stuck paying the tab for a years-long legal battle over gun rights.

WTOC Investigates added up the legal fees spent to defend a handful of lawsuits against Chatham County Probate Court Judge Tom Bordeaux.

As of late last year, the legal bills paid have added up to more than $92,000 with a large majority of it paid to a gun rights attorney who has filed lawsuits against probate court judges across the state.
