There is no question who will be paying.
We, the residents, will be the ones paying, as we have been up until this point.

Yes, it is we who are footing the bill, even though the IRS bond issue is with Morse, not us.
Thus far, the attorney fees are somewhere around one million.
Morse has not paid one cent.
The money has come out of our amenity fee.

Like it or not, we have no say in this matter.
