SACKETS HARBOR — Watertown law firm Schwerzmann & Wise PC has filed a lawsuit against the town of Hounsfield over an allegedly unpaid $160,000 bill for legal services the town provided in connection with the development of the Galloo Island Wind Farm.
The firm had filed a notice of claim with the town in January, a necessary precursor to any legal action against a municipality, but having received no response, filed state Supreme Court action Monday at the Jefferson County clerk’s office.[Watertown Times]

Nothing compared to what it has already cost CV and lyme and soon, Clayton, Brownville, Orleans. How many actions do you think are being prepared at this moment as pro wind insist on continuing with the personal attacks and false information? And anti-wind sets up documentation of liability and accountability. Hang on for a bumpy ride unless higher authority shuts it down.
WE watch the WDT comments with interest. Like, are the Cape PB former head and Justin teaming up against Pandora an leaning left. Or is it anti wind making it look that way?
You may find that out some day. The blogger case has one point in discovery to be settled. No counter claims or actions have been formalized but when they are, it would make sense that they include pursuit of the Start a Business person who is on an active campaign of intimidation and defamation of the Cape bloggers. Perhaps close to the defendants, a Bp leaseholder or business associate or a member of the same organizations the plaintiffs are representing. The defendant can go back one year from the filing date with her counter action. Many of my friends who have supported the Cape bloggers encourage counter action, recovery and damages. This was a SLAPP against all the people.
At the court hearing for dismissal, Judge McClusky was very interested in finding out who of the plaintiffs were actual lease holders with Bp. And, he used the word SLAPP in reference to the case when addressing the plaintiff's lawyer. We trial junkies are very interested in this one and I think the blogger will prevail and perhaps counter as she deserves.
