CLEVELAND, Tenn. – The dispute over sharing sales tax revenue heads to Chancery Court Thursday.
The Cleveland City Council deadlocked this morning on a compromise proposal to postpone the hearing before Chancellor Jerri Bryant.
After a two and a half hour informal session between the majority of the Bradley County Commission and City Council Tuesday evening, Councilman Richard Banks proposed a resolution this morning. He said both sides should ask Bryant for a 90-day “continuance” while negotiations continued.
Three council members, Banks, George Poe and Charlie McKenzie, voted in favor of continuance.
Councilmen Avery Johnson, David May and Bill Estes voted against.
