Judge Denies Injunction Requested by Town of Mason

Posted by: Stacey Shrader Joslin on Apr 15, 2022

Davidson County Chancellor Anne Martin this week rejected the town of Mason’s motion for a temporary injunction that would have slowed a financial takeover by the state comptroller, WPLN reports. In the ruling, Martin said that the comptroller’s office was within its authority to provide oversight to local governments in financial trouble. Earlier this month, the state issued a corrective action plan (CAP) to address financial woes. Local officials say the CAP keeps them from meeting the needs of residents in a timely manner and could cause the town to default on payments to outside entities. Van Turner, who is representing Mason, said the town’s lawsuit will continue to move forward.
