Pre-trial hearing ahead on challenge to capital bond issue

Indications are that the legal challenge to Oconee’s $25 million bond issue for capital projects, including wastewater, will make its way into a courtroom this month in the form of a pre-trial motion.  A Common Pleas Court docket indicates the moving party is defendant Oconee County, which will ask for a dismissal of the plaintiffs’ request for an injunction.  The plaintiffs include 12 Oconee residents and the South Carolina Public Interest Foundation.
