Canton Wants To Annex Nissan Plant
JACKSON, Miss. (AP) - The state attorney general's office has asked a federal judge to dismiss a lawsuit filed by the city of Canton against Nissan of North America Inc.
The Clarion-Ledger reports that the attorney general's office says in its motion that state law prohibiting Canton from annexing the nearby Nissan plant does not violate the state constitution.
Roughly 10 years ago, the agreement (between Nissan and Canton) was legal,'' said Harold Pizzetta III, special assistant attorney general. The plaintiffs received the benefit of this deal and now have high legal hurdles to overcome 10 years later.''
No hearing date has been set for the lawsuit, filed in federal court in Jackson.
