BREAKING UPDATE: JFM Adams Housing, LLC v. The City of Salisbury, Maryland Notice of Appeal

No one will mention this from the City or the "mainstream media," or the Fire-starter Independent/Daily Independent. The City is appealing the Federal Court ruling that held the Ireton Administration unconstitutionally applied the Housing Code. As many may recall, enforcement of the Housing Code was one, if not the, primary focus of the Ireton Administration. The Notice of Appeal was filed today.

Rather than simply apply the Housing Code constitutionally, or make a meaningful attempt to reach a fair settlement, the City has decided to appeal a case (at significant expense) that it already lost in Federal Court. The Appeal itself will be ruled upon in Richmond, VA.

Ultimately, the City will incur hundreds of dollars per hour for legal fees. While much is covered by insurance, the economic burden will inevitably be felt by taxpayers.

This is another example of the City (through the Ireton Administration) insisting it is right, despite the Courts and countless neutral outside sources trying to explain why it is clearly wrong.
