"Cowardice asks the question...is it safe? Expediency asks the question...is it politic? Vanity asks the question...is it popular? But conscience asks the question...is it right? And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular but one must take it because it is right." ~Dr. Martin Luther King

Here's what I have learned

I can't tell you much. The task has been assigned to Kevin MacDonald. I must say nothing to hinder him.

There are time limits for things to happen.

From council experience, I know once there is a hint of litigation by the town or against, council members are required to refrain from making any comments whatsoever

The corporation "must be saved harmless". It is the sworn duty of corporation officials.

A process known as "Examination for discovery"takes place. It involves examination of all documents submitted in support of the argument.

I think there must be agreement or acceptance at that point. Like choosing weapons in a duel.

Then the documents become a matter of public record.

Obviously sufficient time must be allowed.

The parties were served on September 8th, 2009.

Apart from what is already known, no outline of the argument will be public until after the examination for discovery.
