Yes, there is still time to negotiate this lawsuit that nobody wants. It is not a done deal. The extension of the discovery deadline until April 10 (see the Motion and Order here) means depositions have yet to be taken from the 3 selectmen who initiated the firing of former Town Manager Jackson. The Sun Journal published an article 2-11-10 stating as much. The article stated 5 selectmen would be questioned, but that is not accurate; only the 3 would be deposed.
There must be negotiations. It is not necessary to throw up our hands and say there's nothing we can do. An injustice has been done, to the former town manager, and to this town. Nobody asked for any of this - 3 selfish individuals just took it upon themselves to tie this huge millstone around our necks.
Contact our selectmen - the individuals now in place on the selectboard are working together for this town. They need to hear from us.
