Excerpt:
A Rutherford County judge refused Monday to suspend an order that blocks a local mosque from getting a certificate of occupancy.
Chancellor Robert Corlew turned down county attorneys who wanted him to put his injunction on hold and allow the mosque to be used while they appeal the order to a higher court.
Corlew issued the injunction in mid-June after ruling that county officials did not provide sufficient public notice for a May 2010 meeting where the Islamic Center of Murfreesboro's construction plans were approved.
