Divided by the New Ellenton sewer matter, officials await court action. The town’s attorney Francis Draine says bond funds were legally acquired and citizens are not liable for costs. Former Mayor Randy Shaw pled guilty in 1994 to mail fraud and was sentenced in 1996 for embezzling public money. NationsBank, as bond custodian, maintains only custodial duties and will comment after litigation.
