A former Aberdeen lawyer is suing the developer of the Wetlands Golf Course project for allegedly asking for a poll of city voters and never paying for it, though the developer?s spokesman said he declined that offer.
Thomas McLaughlin filed suit Friday in Harford County District Court against Wetlands owner Sam Smedley for $29,634, to cover the costs of a poll McLaughlin said Smedley agreed to with an “oral contract” and a handshake Nov. 1. The phone poll was intended to gauge support for Aberdeen?s annexation of 523 acres, including Smedley?s land, which will be decided by special vote Tuesday.
