Philip Charles has kindly updated all on the DumpPMUA lawsuit against the Plainfield Municipal Utilities Authority (see here).
The original two-count suit has been expanded now to ten counts allegng various failures by the PMUA to comply with the law and challenging a number of fees and the way they are assessed.
DumpPMUA is also looking for documentation from ratepayers to help bolster its case, in particular charges for lids not being completely closed (see count 6). If you have wrangled with the PMUA over this matter and have records, please contact Philip Charles by email to info@dumppmua.com or call (908) 998-2751 to assist.
The update details the PMUA's response to various items, and it appears DumpPMUA has caught the authority out on a number of issues, including a meeting that violates the Open Public Meetings Act (Sunshine Law) and a retroactive rate increase.
As the suit enters the discovery phase, Charles will be collecting more documentation from the PMUA to support his charges.
Though lawsuits may be somewhat akin to watching paint dry, this one should command the attention of Plainfield ratepayers for as long as it takes.
Note: There is also an update on the cost of the Oakland, CA, trip (see here), the tally for which now exceeds $30,000, according to DumpPMUA.
