A Fulton County judge on Wednesday threw out essentially all of a dispute between the city of College Park and Clayton County over the division of tax revenue from alcohol sales at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, ruling the county is protected by sovereign immunity.

The dispute has been brewing since 2015, when the city sued the county, saying it was improperly collecting and keeping taxes from wholesale and by-the-drink alcohol sales at the airport, where some areas of the concourse and terminals are in College Park and others in unincorporated Clayton.
