Newton County found out last week that dealing with the federal government can come with some long strings attached.The county receives around $2.6 million in annual federal funding and accepting this money requires the county to implement a Limited English Proficiency Plan. That plan requires the county to begin providing some information in Spanish as well as English, including posting some notices in Spanish and providing access to interpreters at a cost to the county of $3.29 per minute. Folks, this is just the start.
