(52,606 posts)that there was a conspiracy.
There was a lawsuit involved and things were not looking good for the city attorney when the federal judge was ready to rule in favor of the plaintiff because he could prove the City had entered into "contracts" and made promises to him. But, instead of going down alone, the city attorney gave the litigators a "frank discussion," that confirmed that the elected officials were behind a conspiracy to deprive the developer of his vested rights. I'm guessing that "frank discussion" was scorched earth.
The whole thing was settled for two million dollars, and that was BEFORE the developer had the city attorney's testimony.
The unfortunate thing was that the confidentiality clause in the settlement agreement created an entire cottage industry of "ambassadors" who spread misinformation in the community. I've been trying to set the record straight ever since.
