Gov. Cooper files motion to dismiss Town of La Grange lawsuit

On May 8 the Town of La Grange filed a lawsuit against Gov. Cooper in Superior Court requesting a declaratory judgment that one of his Executive Orders violated N.C.G.S. 159B-22. The Town asserts the order unlawfully interferes with the ability of utility service providers to exercise their own discretion and judgment in collecting charges for utility services provided to their customers. Governor Roy Cooper submitted a brief in opposition to the Town’s motion for a preliminary injunction and in support of his motion to dismiss the amended complaint.
