Somo: Court rules in favor of the Town of Fountain Hills

Quoting from the final judgement filed July 9 in Superior Court, “6. On June 4, 2024, this Court entered an Under Advisement Ruling (‘Merits Decision’). The Merits Decision denied all the relief requested in ROT’s Complaint ‘for the reasons set forth in the Defendants’ respective written Closing Statement and Closing Argument.’ The Merits Decision is incorporated here.

“7. For all the reasons in the Merits Decision (and the Defendants’ respective written closing statements), this Court enters final judgment for the Defendants and against Plaintiffs on every claim in the Complaint.”

That is the final statement by Superior Court judge, the Honorable Frank Moskowitz, in the determination against Reclaim Our Town (ROT), favoring the Town of Fountain Hills and Sandor Development about the recent Target development lawsuit.   ROT – the plaintiffs – failed. The defendant – the town – was deemed to have followed state statute regarding referendum petition process.
