Attorney General Troy King has joined the fight against alcohol sales in Cedar Bluff, claiming in a three-page filing that if the case is decided in favor of the town the ruling would impair his ability to “ensure strict adherence to the constitutional process for lawmaking” in Alabama.
King’s request to intervene in the case was filed March 3 in the office of Cherokee County Circuit Clerk Dwayne Amos. King’s request, if granted, would withdraw an “acceptance and waiver” filed by his office when the complaint was initially served.
Waivers are a tool used regularly by the attorney general’s office to reduce the state’s legal workload. By withdrawing the waiver, King effectively seeks to become the lead plaintiff in the case against Cedar Bluff.
