Bill to abolish Swainsboro court faces Senate reconsideration
Emanuel county citizens and regional merchants face rare financial impact as a bill abolishing the city court of Swainsboro awaits senate special judiciary reconsideration. Opponents call the measure crudely drawn and unconstitutional, noting it lacks provisions for levying or collecting prior judgments, risking harm to holders. Discrepancies exist over whether voters in Emanuel county or those voting at the election decide the measure. Despite passage in both chambers, a governor’s signature hinges on this reconsideration and a scheduled hearing was moved without clear justification.
