Contempt Proceeding Set Against Hertford County Officials
A clash between state and federal courts over Murfreesboro township bonds leads to a contempt proceeding. Paul Campbell, D. Barnes, and Winborne & Lawrence are to show cause September 2 before US Judge Purnell in Raleigh why they should not be held in contempt for obstructing a federal mandate to levy taxes and pay the bond installments. The case stems from a state court injunction delaying federal collection efforts after a circuit court ruling favored bond holders Pater Toma and others. The tax levy went ahead but the injunction seeks to halt the federal payment order, prompting officials to explain noncompliance.
