Special Council Meeting to Discuss Budget, Lawsuits

Anderson County Council will hold a special meeting Tuesday at 6:30 p.m. in the historic courthouse downtown to discuss the FY 2015 budget and propsed settlements of lawsuits Erick Bradshaw v. Anderson County and Patricia Jones v. Anderson County.

Bradshaw had sued Anderson County Councilman Eddie Moore and the county alleging Moore did not properly respond to a Freedom of Information Act request. The key issue in the case is whether Moore created a list of employees he wanted fired a list Moore said never existed.

Jones sued the county over the hiring of a private investigator and consultant to look into activities that took place during former Anderson County Adminstrator Joey Preston's administration.
