Landfill story in today's Daily News

Here's the story about the withdrawn contempt complaint that is in today's DN.

Jill Butterworth, deputy press secretary for Attorney General Martha Coakley, said yesterday the office dismissed without prejudice its contempt claims against New Ventures LLC.

A dismissal without prejudice allows the commonwealth to reassert the allegations at a later time if appropriate or necessary, she added in an e-mail. Butterworth declined further comment.


The only part of this I find highly amusing is that when I spoke with Ms. Butterworth, she expressed some surprise that she had not heard from the Daily News.

That in itself is news.

I expect to hear any minute now that the AG and DEP have reached a settlement with New Ventures, but just think - if the AG had presented its motion for an expedited hearing with the proper documentation, this might have been over 3 months ago.

Not that it matters anymore but Bill Thibeault once again wins and has the last laugh.

I just thought you would be interested in knowing that in Everett, he purchased a building that the city was trying to block the sale for many years but he kept delaying and delaying in court until he got the right mayor in office.

So on September 10, 2008 the city sold the Old City Yards for 3.5 million Dollars to Wood Waste of Boston owner and political supporter of Mayor DeMaria.

April 26, 2009 Wood Waste owner sells same property for 6.9 million dollars to Restaurant Depot.

NO promised jobs and we get a warehouse with very little tax base for the taxpayers of Everett while the Wood Waste owner just pockets 3.1 MILLION DOLLARS.

HE had the last laugh once again, just like the withdrawn court proceedings.
