Maureen - thanks for the incredible detail on your blog. Grateful for that level of info. I can't believe only 3 residents showed up at the court hearing - I know people are working but 3 is pathetic. Does sound like iStar were on their heels a bit and hopefully are getting a clear message that the town is serious. Almost sounds like iStar have little idea what they've gotten themselves into and with continued pressure something will give.
