Screenshot of Supreme Court of Georgia oral arguments in Camden County v. Sweatt, Judge et al. at Augusta-Richmond County Municipal Building on Oct. 6, 2022.
The Supreme Court of Georgia packed up its Atlanta justices and headed to Augusta Thursday to hear oral arguments in a legal dispute over a referendum that’s halted progress on a commercial spaceport.
At issue is whether the Home Rule provision contained in the Georgia Constitution gave local voters the power to veto the Camden County Board of Commissioners’ plans to purchase spaceport property through a referendum. The Augusta trip was the court’s first special session outside Atlanta since the COVID-19 pandemic started 2½ years ago.
