Volga back in court over city-owned housing

The City of Volga and its Housing and Redevelopment Commission suffered another setback this week in a lawsuit brought against them by the Brookings-based development corporation, Sandcreek, LLC.

Kind of gets you wondering how good our city attorney is. He just seems to keep costing the city more and more after each failure.

From what I have heard our city attorney has received over $40,000 in legal fees over issues with the housing development. What do we have to show for it? Loss after loss after loss. I heard he cost the city around $12,000 to procecute a parking ticket. He even lost that one! I think we need a new city attorney.

Who does this city's legal work? My daughter is only twelve and she could do a better job than he/she. I think they could do better by looking for someone different. DUH!!!!

Just goes to show you what a good city administrator you have. beats his wife, lies to the city, has a crooked attorney, the list goes on and on. So, why wouldn't the housing be a shady deal?

He's the Brookings city attorney also.

Heard that the Volga City commisioners are considering opening up the attorney job to bids, finally.
