As of 10:30, HUMMAP had not filed the lawsuit.
After filing, they still need to serve it on the County, properly. As of 3:30, the County had not been served.
North Coast Journal did a follow up after my post. Other than confirming the notice of intent, Robert "Woods" Sutherland did not comment further. Times-Standard either didn't ask any questions of Sutherland or get no comment. Is Kent Sawatsky funding this lawsuit? Is he a member of HUMMAP?
Woods still hasn't contacted me. Mr. Sawatsky called me and he said, "no comment."
Threatening to sue or suing the County because you disagree with a decision or interpret law differently is not helping the taxpayers. Maybe the taxpayers need to sue these groups who take money, time and resources away from productive causes.

Taking government to court to enforce the laws they have already passed is not uncommmon, nor a waste of taxpayers' money. Rethink this.
ReplyDeleteTall Trees, when groups abuse the law, especially local for a bias and agenda, it is a waste of taxpayers money. With the exception of HUMCPR, unless you live under a rock, most lawsuits locally have been filed by EPIC, Baykeeper and now HUMMAP under the guise of environmental concern. Where was this concern before the recent ordinance was passed. Taking the government to court because I can is not an excuse. And, lack of transparency about who is funding this potential lawsuit does not help their cause.
