OJRSA Attorney: “Never Seen Anything Like This”

Attorney Larry Brandt with the Oconee Joint Regional Sewer Authority told the board of directors yesterday that, in his entire career, he has never seen anything like the situation facing the OJRSA regarding a potential lawsuit from a member city…

Brandt made his comments as the board was about to adjourn to a private meeting in order to receive legal advice. He urged the commissioners to be respectful of another’s position when it pertains to Seneca’s quest for increased representation on the board.

Just as the doors were closing for the executive session, board chairman Scott Parris of Walhalla asked whether there were any objections to allow Westminster Mayor Brian Ramey to take part. Ramey has been nominated to the board, but his appointment is not scheduled to be made official until action tonight by his city council.

While Seneca’s representative Scott Moulder offered no objections, Walhalla-Westminster Representative Tally Grant expressed discontent with Ramey’s presence, and, with that, Mr. Ramey was excused.
