Oath Proceedings concludes
The waiting Game Begins
By
Jim Tucciarelli
Our court proceedings are
over and I am Optimistic of the outcome. I will not bore you with the details
of the hearing but I will ask you to read Apples
To Apples (PDF*) a day by day description
of the proceedings as reported by Sean Connolly of Hunts point to get an unbiased
view, I would also ask you to talk to the numerous members that were in attendance
and ask them what they thought. Sean can provide you with the names of those who
attended and you can contact them directly, or if you have any questions feel
free to contact the local office.
I would like to thank all those who
came down in support of the Local as well as our attorneys, research department,
and all those who testified on our behalf. I will list each and every one of them
after the final outcome and a decision by the Judge. The Comptroller has filed
his closing brief on time and our Attorney and OLR are preparing their closing
briefs now the Judge will have all closing briefs in her possession the first
week in August and we anticipate her decision in the early fall. If a decision
is reached earlier than our normally scheduled General Membership Meeting on September
8, 2009 I will call a special membership meeting to discuss the decision.
Have
a great Summer.
