Well, it was certainly an enlightening experience. Mr Wolfgang made the petitioners points with Mr ONiel in consultation, Mr Buchannon and Mr Mudd made their counter points, Judge Nalley seemed to be very familiar with the case, after spending his weekend reviewing the volumous material that was in the record.
No Decision was made today, Judge Nalley indicated he would give this more thought and make a decision which will be released by the Clerk at a future date.
Overall, I think most protestants were satisfied, that they had their day in court, and have faith that issues are now being considered by a very well informed Judge Nalley.
Holding our breath, and crossing our fingers ‘n toes for at least a remand back to BOA now that the Citizens are well prepared. A 14 day notice was simply not sufficient for Citizens to prepare and research. The request to outright deny the applicant most likely wont fly, but there was ample evidence that this deserves to be re-heard following the BOA’s own rule set.
Bring on a NEW DOCKET number!
