Earlier this week an injunction was filed by attorneys for Fayetteville resident Coleman Taylor, claiming Tuesday's transit tax vote should be stopped because it was incorrectly sent to the people by the Washington County Quorum Court. Then in a hearing today, a judge heard both sides of the argument.

"And I've got real concerns about your client, who doesn't even go to these meetings, doesn't even take the time to be involved in the process, coming in here six days before this election asking me to essentially take a real big step, and that's concerning."

In the ruling Judge Mason does give each side the chance to continue this discussion after the election... something Coleman taylor says is possible - if the sales tax increase passes.
