POINT DEFIANCE CAFE AND CASINO

COMPLAINT FOR DECLARATORY AND INJUNCTIVE RELIEF

filed in Superior Court July 18, 2008. First injunctive hearing August 1 was rescheduled to October as Ruston Special Legal Counsel refused to stipulate to 3-1 vote in the Ruston Town Council. This will double the costs to the Town. We are attempting to get costs for first hearing via PRR (Public Records Request) and will post them when available. Meanwhile Point Defiance Casino closed its gambling operations and is suing the Town of Ruston for 9.7 million dollars.

FRAYED NERVES

RUSTON LAWSUIT is getting noticed receiving prominent attention in the Town Council meeting 9-15-08. Dan A. appeared very upset at the LAWSUIT blog. We will attempt to tell it like it is especially at costs to the Town that appear unrelated to Town interests.

I have been distracted but will provide documents, dollar amounts, expenditures, et al. But the shortage of help in the Town's office is making replys to PRRs (Public Records Requests) painfully slow and backlogged making it difficult to get any information on legal costs and expenditures.

One point of interest the doubling of costs on the Point Defiance Casino request for a delay in imposing the death tax on the Casino, Special Legal Counsel David Britton refusing to stipulate to a 3-1 council vote on the 600 percent tax increase. It will have to be reheard in October.

RUSTON LAWSUITS

Where do we go from here. Right now PRRs, Public Records Requests, in the Town of Ruston are backlogged, but I will not give up. Pierce County legal records is the next step. We can say lawsuits in place are in the Millions.
