York County sues City of Rock Hill and City of Tega Cay after cities refuse to pay for housed inmates: Friday, April 22

The city of Rock Hill and the city of Tega Cay in South Carolina are both being sued by York County for reportedly failing to pay for services associated with sending inmates to the York County Detention Center, including not paying or reimbursing the county for housing its inmates.Attorneys representing York County believe this lawsuit is about the "dignity of local governments under Home Rule." In the lawsuit released Thursday, attorneys stated in June 2021 the two cities along with the city of Fort Mill, the town of Clover, and the city of York sent a joint letter to York County Council.
