Former Union, South Carolina Mayor Bruce Morgan pleaded not guilty to federal corruption charges stemming from an alleged kickback scheme in which Morgan was paid cash for granting government contracts to businesses.
Morgan resigned from office the day the charges were handed down.
Both Morgan and former Union zoning director Jeff Lawson were scheduled to appear in court on Wednesday, but their attorneys requested a continuance in order to have more time to prepare for the hearing.
The attorney for Morgan stated that his client has no plans to change his not guilty plea.
