Plaquemine Mayor and Court Settle Differences

Plaquemine Mayor Tony Culotta and City Court Judge William Dupont have resolved a funding dispute that led to a judgment in the 18th JDC ordering the City to pay all of the City Court's reasonable expenses requested in the budged, reports The Advocate.

Issues involved whether the city would pay court costs and attorney fees incurred by the court when filing the lawsuit, whether the city would be held in contempt for allegedly not following the judge's original ruling and whether the judge would grant a new trial

The resolution will result in the dismissal of a motion for contempt of court filed against the City.
