So here's the litigation

OH! *yawn* The Daily News finally has the story about the mayor and City Council being served by New Ventures, the landfill owner.

Served over what?

City Council President James Shanley confirmed that all councilors as well as the mayor will be issued summonses in the next few days. The request was made by New Ventures LLC relating to the company's assertion that the city holds some liability over the landfill, which has been deemed a contaminated site by the state, for materials dumped at the site prior to when New Ventures took over.

"I came home (Thursday) and had the note on my door," Shanley said. "Its not that big of a surprise."

The note? Who was the note from, New Ventures? They send out notes now? Oh, well, this is my favorite paragraph from the story:

The council felt New Ventures did not offer the city enough incentives to accept the agreement. New Ventures makes money by dumping material at the site.

Stephen Tait is on vacation, can you tell?

Just so Newburyport realizes recent events in Everett.

Quote from Everett Mayor Carlo DeMaria speaking of William Thibeault at a city council meeting:

"Hopefully," DeMaria said, "he is a man of his word."

The July 14th hearing was scheduled prior to this statement. How come no one felt the need to let us know it was happening? DeMaria, Rossi and Thibealt were all present at the last meeting and no one thought it was important to tell us that the Commonwealth was suing Wood Waste?

Instead we should sell Wood Waste the land on lower Broadway before anyone found out about it. Liars, liars, liars...Shame on you all.
