Pig farmer secures injunction to block city from evicting her

Pig farmer Jean Bacchus has gone from asking City Hall to have compassion to securing an injunction against the Mayor and City Council to prevent it from evicting her farming operations behind the Le Repentir Cemetery.

At last week Monday’s statutory meeting, Mayor Patricia Chase-Green indicated that Bacchus had been granted an injunction which prevents the council from enforcing an eviction notice it issued in April.

Chase-Green took aim at those councillors who had defended Bacchus, while noting that in asking that she be given time as an act of mercy, she got just enough time to take the council to court.
