"Bill Carpenter said that a motion for dismissal filed on Friday by Brockton Power may be a sign that the developer feels more confident moving forward with plans to build a power plant in the city, while opponents of the project believe it proves that the company's lawsuit is without merit. “My guess is the plaintiffs are more willing and more comfortable under certain conditions to start dismissing defendants,” said Brockton Mayor Bill Carpenter, who also said the dismissal would save the city around $1.5 million in fees for lawyers it hired for all the defendants."
A status update hearing for the case is scheduled for Monday in U.S. District Court in Boston.Here's the things the CC needs to stop litigating. We need the money. We can't lay off any more teachers, we need to hire more police/fire.

Nessralla, the city solicitor, said that the consent decree would effectively end the lawsuit, without any liability for the city and the former defendants in the case, while allowing the judge to become the "neutral arbiter" for all decisions in the municipal permitting process going forward."

IMO, that'll do it. There's no legal reason, other than what CC claims, to not grant this license. And it's what the PP needed a long time ago, a neutral arbiter .

Since I finally got blocked from the STP Facebook page, I don't regular it anymore. But, we can be sure that loony bin will try to somehow put their spin on this, and claim it is the final nail in the power plant coffin.
Careful, they might also try to sell you some shinola. I have a feeling it is something else.

"After Brockton Power dismissed all individual defendants except for the city as a whole from its civil rights lawsuit over the denial of access to treated wastewater, the company and the administration of Mayor Bill Carpenter submitted a joint motion for consent decree earlier this week to put the permitting issue in the hands of a federal judge.
U.S. District Court Judge Leo Sorokin granted that motion on Thursday. The filing states that the consent decree is binding on the city and all of its public boards, and that Brockton’s elected leaders cannot engage in “any deliberate acts of discrimination” against Brockton Power."

Aside from the years of money left on the table, Brockton could have brokered itself a much better deal if they had been a more willing party.

I often wonder how they manage their own personal affairs?

Exactly what I've been saying for the past 4-5 years. If the City had been a more willing recipient, we could have gotten a really sweet deal. But NOOOOO! City council and the past Mayor were getting led around by the nose by a guy who does not even live here and who had his own agenda regarding the property the plant was to be built on.

I have yet to see them turn down a drug program or anything affiliated
with it. It seems they want more and more of that type of business and
we wonder why we don't progress?
We are what we cater to!!

Here is what you are saying, someone wants to build housing on a lot next to the sewage plant on land that is zoned Industrial. Yep, that certainly sounds logical,,,NO. In my wildest dreams I couldn't ever come up with that whopper.
