The future of YMCA Camp Tecumseh’s lawsuit to stop construction of a 9,000-hog operation is in the hands of White County Circuit Judge Robert Thacker.
Thacker on Friday listened as attorneys for the camp, the White County Board of Commissioners and farmer John Erickson argued about procedural rules concerning where the case should be heard.
Camp attorney Matt Albaugh claimed the case should be moved out of White County and that his motion for a change of venue was filed on time.
White County Attorney George Loy contended the camp missed the deadline to request the case be moved.
Loy also said the case is ready to move to trial in the county where the commissioners approved Erickson’s request to rezone 7 acres for the hog operation.
The case has slogged through the Indiana legal system, moving from Carroll Circuit Court, where it was originally filed, to the Indiana Court of Appeals and then to the Indiana Supreme Court.
