Birmingham, AL – U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Thomas Bennett says court-appointed receiver John S. Young has performed well since taking office last year.
During a U.S. Bankruptcy Court hearing this week on Young's fate, Bennett said he thinks Young ``has done a great job.''
Bennett is conducting his second day of hearings to determine whether Young should be exempt from the normal strictures imposed when Jefferson County filed for Chapter 9 bankruptcy protection this month.
County commissioners want Young gone, while the creditors who had him appointed want him to remain in control of the sewer system and its operations and revenues.
