Lon Morris Estate Seeks to Pay Employees before Christmas
Posted/updated on: December 14, 2012 at 11:15 amTYLER — Representatives for the Lon Morris College estate are asking a federal judge to give them permission to pay their employees before Christmas. KETK reports it’s called a “pre-holiday distribution,” and it would dole out about $130,000. Some former employees were not paid during the final weeks before the school was closed in May. The 158-year-old Methodist college, the state’s oldest junior college, filed for bankruptcy protection earlier this year.
