County Commissioner Michael Shane Wilcher’s stand against a forceful land acquisition attempt by West Warren Viola Utility District has become an uphill battle. Last month, Wilcher requested the county attorney, the firm of Larry Stanley and Robert Bratcher, to draft a resolution “denouncing the unlawful acts and actions by West Warren Viola Utility District in attempting to take private property from the Jarrell family in Coffee County.”Wilcher says his emails were returned. “My emails to Stanley and Bratcher have been getting kicked back to me for about two weeks now,” he said.
Resolution bad idea, attorney says
