Hope for the best.

For all our railing about secret meetings, it's shocking to me that the city isn't in on these negotiations.


The Department of Environmental Protection, the attorney general and New Ventures are close to reaching a settlement over citations and a preliminary injunction issued against the Crow Lane Landfill owner in 2006.

But city officials remain in the dark about what that agreement may be and will remain on the outside looking in until the settlement is signed and officially approved by a judge.

Amy Breton, spokeswoman for the Attorney General's Office, said the agreement is still pending and could offer no other comment.


Unsettling too. Gillian Swart has more on this here.

UPDATE: An emailer points out the city really has no formal role in these negotiations since it doesn't own the landfill site. Fair point, I get that. But still it's worrisome.
