Honestly doesn't anybody else feel that the city is owed some money?
The lawsuit saved the city $6.9 million because the cost of equipment dropped that much during the time the project was delayed. Maybe the city owes those doing the suing a commission.

"If the Supreme Court rules in our favor, it won't be that it cost us $1.1 million in legal fees. It's that the lawsuit saved us $6.9 million because the cost of the technology and hardware dropped," he said.

Interesting slant on the whole issue. The article went on to say Cox customers in Lafayette also saved money due to the lack of rate hikes that other cities in the area were exposed to. Cox Communications must be having a tantrum over how they wasted their money on propaganda and in turn benefited the very project they wanted to squash.

that's a nice positive spin on a bad situation. Though I'm sure residents might have been happy to see the money spent so they could have inexpensive,fast internet.

props to you finding that article. because something is bad, it's not all bad.
