The cost of $27,000 could have been avoided if the tax payers were notified about the idea of taking the WLT to court and it was discussed at a regular town meeting. Especially when a town takes the unusual step of taking its own land trust to court.
Patchy rain nearby, with a high of 48 and low of 30 degrees. Freezing fog in the morning, overcast in the afternoon, freezing fog overnight.
