Friday, February 24, 2017

During a specially called meeting of the Blytheville City Council Friday afternoon, City Attorney Chris Brown announced that on Jan. 30, 2017 in Chickasawba District Civil Division Court, Circuit Judge Richard Lusby found the city of Blytheville and Blytheville Waterworks not financially responsible for the office equipment lease agreements made with De Lage Landen Financial Services and therefore the suit against them was "dismissed without prejudice".
