Johnson Responds
| After a long investigation, District Attorney, Russ
Johnson, filed suit, back in March, to have 2nd District Commissioner,
Julia Hurley, removed from her elected position for moving outside her
elected district. In May, Hurley's attorney, T. Scott Jones, filed
several motions with the court to have the case dismissed among other
things. Now Johnson has filed his own motions in response to the Jones
motion.
The legal process has really been stretched out due to the Chinese Corona Virus, shutdown of the courts. The courts are slowly beginning to reopen now. The motion and counter motion could be heard as soon as this month or next. Johnson's motion thoroughly dismantles Jones' attempt to have the case dismissed. Last Friday was the one year anniversary of Ms. Hurley's move out of her elected district. According to her and her lawyer, her move was only temporary, for one year. Hopefully this matter will be resolved now sooner than later. Below is Johnson's response. |
