It could be May before Vidalia alderman Robert Gardner Jr. goes to trial after a last minute decision to switch attorneys. Proceedings were scheduled to start yesterday morning. Gardner is accused of taking Town of Vidalia envelopes with prepaid postage and using them to request absentee ballots, as well as directing town employees to use a town-owned printer to make copies for him for work that wasn’t related to his role as alderman. While the trial could ultimately be delayed to the spring, the next hearing in the case is set for a week from tomorrow.
