Council commentary

The attorney who is going to handle the ADA lawsuit for the City is willing to work for the bargain-basement rate of $225 per hour. Youngs stated that he has experience with ADA lawsuits in his day job at WaMu and they are NOT cheap. The lawsuit could easily run into the millions. The City Attorney stated he thought it would ba case of mostly negotiations, and not much litigation. That may be but lengthy negotiations could be VERY expensive in its own right. While a previous post about the Sosa new money may have been tongue in cheek, this ADA lawsuit could seriously soak up a LOT of that new money. OR they will just raise OUR taxes and fees again.
