SIMONDS THREATENS TO SUE POST COMMISSIONERS OVER CHARTER CHANGE

COURTS HAVE ALREADY RULED ON ISSUE

Chairman Bill Simonds of the Fannin County Board of Commissioners has threatened to sue the two Post Commissioners, Earl Johnson and Larry Joe Sosebee, over their proposed change to the local legislation (sometimes referred to as the county charter) which would give the entire board rather than Simonds the right to hire and fire department heads.

Simonds will likely lose the lawsuit.
