Clayton is appealing an October 2015 Superior Court ruling in favor of College Park, which claims Clayton owes it about $2.5 million from alcohol taxes during the past 30 years. College Park alleges that since 1983 the alcohol tax collected from wholesale and retail vendors at the airport has not been properly collected and distributed, according the 31-page brief obtained by The Atlanta Journal-Constitution..

Efforts to reach attorneys for the county and College Park were unsuccessful Monday afternoon.
