The reports are that it will cost the county another $700,000 to pay the English estate's legal costs, bringing the total to about $1.8 million. <br /><br />Of course, that's not counting the wasted county time spent on this. I wonder if we'll ever see a breakdown on Multnomah County costs along with the judgment itself. <br /><br />At the minimum, the county will have spent over $2 million on this--besides presenting idiotic arguments such as that since Dorothy English died her estate can't collect on judgments due to her. The lack of merit of that argument can be seen in the fact that the Oregon Supreme Court didn't even deign to discuss it.<br /><br />"13. The county also argues that English's death extinguishes her rights under the trial court judgment. We reject that argument without discussion."T.

Ms. English was a feisty, stron-willed individual who rightly resisted the refusal of her property rights. However, this legal case is also a story of abusive, arrogant, and ultimately unwise hubris by several Multnomah County officials. Their recall would be a public service.Marvinleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03140007461818319010noreply@blogger.com
