Supreme Court hears High Point urban renewal case
Taxpayers led by Horton and Whitener sue the city redevelopment commission and officials over use of tax funds without a voter vote. The Supreme Court, in an opinion by Associate Justice R Hunt Parker, rules redevelopment law is a preventive measure and that bonds and tax spend without voter approval conflict with the state constitution. The case returns to trial for merits, with earlier demurrers upheld in Guilford Superior Court.
