Landfill decision

Here is the Daily News story on the landfill hearing that was held yesterday in Boston.

But after a hearing at Suffolk Superior Court in Boston yesterday, the city was included in the case, Mayor John Moak said. The mayor said he is expecting to pay even more in legal fees to fight on the city's behalf.

"The case" is between New Ventures, the Attorney General and the DEP? I thought they were "negotiations" as the result of a case that has been settled. Oh, well, whatever - the city is now involved and therefore there are going to be legal fees.

But it's a good thing, right? No more secrets.

"It is another lawsuit. It is another action that we have to go through," Moak said. "It may be good because we can present our case to the judges. But anytime we are involved in another lawsuit, it gives my pocketbook palpitations."

Hey, well, check out Ari Herzog's blog. How much IS the city spending on bottled water? I think employees have come to expect that their employer will supply bottled water for them to sip.
