Many of you have heard about the good news of the hearing on Nov. 2. Judget Cheryl Higgins dismissed the lawsuit against the County! This is GREAT news.
What does this mean? We now have to wait, perhaps 90 more days, for the hearing against the City. That hearing will cover the same claim against the County, with the additional claims regarding the land lease and the bidding process for that.
You can see their "spin" about their suit at:
Any Y supporter who would like to hear the YMCA's side in this may contact the Executive Director, Denny Blank at dblank@piedmontymca.org.
In the meantime, the building of a Y facility or discussions about an appropirate alternative are stalled. This is very detrimental to our community's health. Those who will be best served by the Y are the people who need to know about this fight.
What can or should we do in the meantime? We need to keep pressing Phil Wendel to be a hero in the community and either drop the lawsuit or make an alternative happen. That is all he needs to do.
In the next week or so, he will receive communication reminding him of that. He will be told about the plans for public support for the Y and how that may damage his brand. Please be on the lookout for information about T-shirts. I have some ready to be printed and will post info as soon as that is done.
Thank youeveryone!
Thank you Lisa for keeping us posted. This is great news!!
