There has been some reaction from citizens of the town about the town board's action to approve the proposed contract for a land swap. Today's Town Dock has three letters from citizens.
A lot of questions have been raised, not only by the general public, but also by members of the Parks and Rec committee.
I learned last week that the contract was finalized by attorney Scott Davis representing the town and attorney Steve Weeks representing Chris Fulcher. Steve Weeks is a competent attorney who aggressively protects his clients' interests. He is the attorney who saved the town's bacon when Scott Davis lost the suit against Mr. Lacy Henry over South Avenue at summary judgment - before ever getting to trial.
The best advice Scott Davis ever gave the town, back in 2002 when the town asked him to represent us in the suit against Lacy Henry over South Avenue, was to retain a litigator. He was right.
But Scott Davis not only isn't a litigator, he has not proven much of a negotiator and has not always provided the town with competent legal representation.
However the present negotiation is resolved, I think it is past time for the Town to retain a different lawyer or firm as town attorney.
