A lawsuit has recently been filed in Anderson against two local radio hosts as well as a former council candidate. The lawsuit regards a flier that was placed on the windshield of cars in the parking lot during an Anderson County Council meeting that named an Anderson woman and mentioned a dispute about healthcare that involved Connecticut. It turns out that the woman shares first and maiden names with the real woman in Connecticut that was involved in the dispute, and that the people who published the flier knew of this and still went ahead. The lawsuit claims that the flier is an attempt to smear the name of the Anderson woman.
