April 9, 2013 — Kathleen Williams, the Sacramento-based attorney representing Lassen County in the case of Tom Stone, the former county administrative officer who alleges the county wrongly terminated him in 2011, filed a notice of demurrer to plaintiff’s complaint and a lengthy memorandum of points and authorities in support in Lassen County Superior Court on March 18.

Petitioner is asking the judicial branch to limit the power of the executive branch to disenfranchise its citizens. It’s as simple as that.”
