The first court date for Gainesville’s lawsuit with Hall County over tax distribution is Monday, and both sides have asked the judge to rule for their side. The city filed a lawsuit in February accusing the county of breaching a 2008 intergovernmental agreement that spelled out how special purpose local option sales tax was going to be distributed to the cities in the county. Gainesville court documents in April said the county owed it about $5.5 million, including interest and attorney fees.City Attorney Bubba Palmour declined to comment on the hearing.
