News Jim Powell's PSC court case postponed
Posted by Thomas Wheatley @thomaswheatley on Mon, Aug 4, 2008 at 3:18 PM
Public Service Commission candidate Jim Powell says his appeal that was originally scheduled for today at 3 p.m. in Fulton County Superior Court has been postponed. Judge John Goger has recused himself because he's a former law partner of Powell's attorney. Powell says a new judge will be assigned later today and the appeal should be heard sometime later in the week.
Powell is contesting Georgia Secretary of State Karen Handel's removal of his name from the July 15 primary ballot. He was granted a stay the day before the election and garnered 85 percent of the vote.
