Six local businessmen suing the Statesboro mayor and city council for alleged violations of Georgia’s Open Meetings laws got their day in court Tuesday morning, but they left without an answer as the judge said he wouldn’t release his decision until later in the week. The six men — Earl Dabbs, Charles Olliff, Raybon Anderson, Jody Stubbs, Ray Hendley and Ellis Wood – filed a lawsuit against the city on June 29, arguing that four city meetings held March 31, April 1, 16 and 19 at the Gateway Pond House violated Georgia law because they were not properly advertised and minutes of the meetings have not been made available to the public. Dan Snipes, of Franklin Taulbee, Rushing and Snipes, represented the plaintiffs while City Attorney Sam Brannen represented the mayor and city council.
