Area judges have recused themselves from Sullivan County Sheriff Wayne Anderson's 9.9 million dollar lawsuit against the county. The chief justice of the Tennessee Supreme Court has been asked to appoint a special judge to hear the case. Anderson filed the suit last week because of what he says is the under-funding of his department. County Attorney Dan Street has already removed himself from representing the county because of potential conflicts. County Mayor Steve Godsey is talking with law firms, trying to find someone to represent the county. (jb)
