Hartselle Considers Joining Decatur Suit Over County Representation
Hartselle Mayor John D. Long plans to ask the city council to join Decatur in a lawsuit to reorganize the Morgan County Commission on a one man one vote basis. Decatur officials envision a five member panel with two seats from Decatur, one from Hartselle, and two from the county at large. The move aims to secure equal representation for Morgan County residents amid questions of population share. The decision may involve a Monday meeting with Decatur officials and could cite a prior U S District Court ruling as precedent.
