What a difference a day makes, not to mention a different lawsuit. The saga in Falmouth continues over its turbines. According to an article in The Standard Times, a further hearing is scheduled for November 7, 2013 in an appeal from a Falmouth ZBA decision.
Before everyone starts jumping up and down acting like Clarence Darrow and William Jennings Bryan, keep in mind the Falmouth case is not the Fairhaven case, the two cases involve different decisions being appealed and as far as I can tell different legal points.
So, whatever the eventual rulings in either case, the ruling in one does not apply to the other.
If I were really ambitious, I would do the digging necessary to get the court filings in both cases, but I am not. This is one person who is content to let the process play out in the courts, to let aggrieved parties pursue legal redress, and yes to let them file such pleadings and make such appeals as they feel are their rights.
Anyway ...
Tonight we have the Selectmen's meeting. The board is interviewing the "finalist" for the town counsel position. I for one will still argue the boutique concept. It is used to an extent in town now. Just underutilized in my opinion. Always available no matter who the final candidate.
Right after the interviews, there is a scheduled meeting with the group looking at Fairhaven for placement of a medicinal marijuana dispensary. A good lead for tomorrow's planning board public hearing on the moratorium proposal.
What else for today?
I suppose that is it for now.
Be safe.
So the boutique concept utilized when needing a legal opinion on varying matters.A novel idea which should be used in all cases.Town counsel usually doesnt have expertise in all areas,so when we need union negotiations aid,personnel issue help,etc. the town should hire the best available .A law firm with expertise in different ares would be a better overall fit for the town...
ReplyDeleteI suppose it depends on your concept of boutique in the first instance and expertise in the second. A law firm with fifty lawyers is not necessarily any better fit than a law firm with one, and the opposite is also true.
ReplyDeleteYou may shop at a mall because it contains all the types of stores that will allow you "one stop" shopping. It doesn't mean it contains all of the best stores. Just as a variety store is not always going to have the real variety you seek.
