Class action TCT lawsuit tossed by Supreme Court

POWELL —- The Wyoming Supreme Court says a judge was right to throw out a lawsuit that challenged the 2014 sale of a Big Horn Basin telecommunications company.
A pair of former Tri-County Telephone Association board members alleged that leaders conspired to sell the business for much less than its worth, but District Court Judge Jason Conder tossed the class action suit last year.
 “... The undisputed facts demonstrate that no civil conspiracy existed,” Conder concluded.
He said the plaintiffs “loudly” and “feverishly” attacked the sale process but didn’t provide evidence to back up their claims.
The suit was filed in December 2015 by the late Joe Campbell — the lone TCT board member to oppose the deal — and his wife Barbara; former board member Bill Loveland later joined them in representing the class of former co-op members.
