Keeping Up with the Lawsuit

Earlier this month, legal action was filed against the Columbia County Board of Supervisors; Kelly Baccaro, the clerk of the Board of Supervisors; and the Columbia County Board of Elections for invalidating the petition seeking a referendum on creating the position of county executive. The respondents filed a motion to dismiss. Yesterday, the motion to dismiss was denied by Judge Richard Mott. Tiffany Greenwaldt-Simon has the story in today's Register-Star: "Columbia County executive lawsuit continues as judge denies dismissal."
