Worth a read.
Highlights
* William Thiebeault himself speaks, and he's disappointed.
* Our city officials apparently haven't taken any donations from Thibeault. As was pointed out in Ari Herzog's blog, the same can't be said for our state senator.
* This thing is going to court this week, which I say justifies the executive sessions (except for the vote to reject the offer. I'm not sure why that was secret.)
State environmental officials, who are still weighing Thibeault's latest proposal and must sign off on it, have declined comment. The state attorney general's office is overseeing a court-ordered capping and closing of Crow Lane, and all sides in the dispute are due back in Suffolk Superior Court on Tuesday.
After Newburyport's leaders rejected the proposal Wednesday, Mark Reich, the city's attorney, said in an interview that he was "worried" the move would generate more litigation.
I still say kudos to the council for rejecting this proposal. Now let's see what the courts say. I'd be lying if I said I weren't a bit worried.
