In this case the POA has done a disservice to the community.
So “who is lying”? Well let’s start with the count ruled against the POA with prejudice. This tells me that the arguments they put forth were not accurate, so that should be the beginning point in answering the question.
I am sure the POA supporters are licking their wounds and feel the need to lash out through this forum because their reputation just took a big hit. How can we trust anything they say in the future?

Hi meeja: i do understand why you feel the way you do and it is impossible for the loser to defend a lawsuit viewed as lost. However one of my duties was to oversee 250 lawsuits at any given time around the country. We settle some lawsuits simply because the cost of defending was going to end up being more than the settlement. In fact that is the primary reason trial lawyes take up lawsuits because they force the defense to expend large sums and they know if they keep it up they will get a payday. Without belaboring it we settled for several reasons including judges who were influenced by anything other than the facts of a case. Because the POA lawsuit was settled with prejudice doesn't mean the truth prevailed. i am not going to retry this case in this post but you may want to reread the facts especially the part were the facts support the promise the Developer made for a southside AAC.
Personal Best Regards:
