Eufaula Courthouse in poor condition

Several months ago, the county paid off a 20-year-old loan used to refurbish the county's two courthouses, the majority of which was used for the Eufaula courthouse. But Barbour County Commission Chairman Frank Straughn told his fellow commissioners Monday night, "We're going to have to turn right around and put millions of dollars in them to bring them up to par."

Talking about the poor condition of the Eufaula courthouse, Straughn said he is worried someone could fall through the floor.

Many argue that the cost of running two courthosues is one of the reasons of Barbour County's financial troubles.
