WPCA Refuses To Settle Lawsuits

On Friday, October 21st, Jack Murray representing the WPCA (and their attorneys) along with Peter Hughes attended a pre-trial conference for the five benefit assessment appeals filed against the WPCA. My attorney, three other plaintiffs, and I also attended this pre-trial.

The purpose of this pre-trial was to attempt settlement and save everyone legal fees. That includes the town. As everyone well knows, legal expenses were a hot topic at the last town budget vote, which caused it to fail multiple times.

Unfortunately, however, the current administration and board members of this town (Black, Murray, Hughes, et.’al) seem to be not terribly concerned with spending our tax dollars in court, as the WPCA refused to settle any of the cases.

I’m going to now tell you why this was the worst logical, legal, and financial decision the WPCA could have made.
