Bethlehem Township Solicitor Jim Broughal is expected to advise Commissioners tonight against pursuing any claims related to the construction of the Community Center over ten years ago. The facility was built at a cost of $11 million, and just ten years later, needs $2 million in repairs.
"The chances of success are small and the cost to litigate could be substantial," he advised. He is, however, recommending that the Township pursue a 20-year warranty on the roof.
What is still unclear is whether any Township officials performed the required code inspections.

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
Time for a new township solicitor! Too many skeletons and afraid to name other lawyers or current and former clients?

ReplyDeleteAnd why is this unclear at this point???????
Check the shredder for the inspections or call John or Howard.
ReplyDelete"And why is this unclear at this point???????"
ReplyDeleteBecause it is not addressed in the agenda, where the comments concerning Jim Broughal's report are included. I did file a separate RTK, but agreed to hold off until Broughal finished his research. I was then contacted and scheduled an appointment, but had to cancel bc I had some rush title work.
6:39, A township solicitor does not exist to do the popular thing. He exists to follow the law and give good legal advice. Broughal is one of the best. If you want someone to appease the mob and lose in court, I'm sure numerous shitty lawyers can fulfill that role.
ReplyDeleteShitty lawyer was probably the former solicitor, Elliott...
ReplyDeleteSomeone needs to check the relationship between Elliot and Nolan.
