I was recently chided by Bob Monize about our article on Swisher v Moses Lake. We published this information a month ago. It was accurate then and is still accurate. The comment made was that the issue was "not quite resolved, regardless of what has been written recently on another web site." What still remains to be heard is the issue of attorney's fees. Joe Fischnaller is asking for an award of actual fees. So far, statutory fees have been awarded but those are far less than actual fees. There will be a hearing on that issue.
Still, Moses Lake was ordered to pay the bills and that is the key issue here. The Snohomish case findings were followed.
So why the scolding? I guess it is because they haven't bothered to even discuss the progress on the case and are embarrassed by their omission. I don't know why, they never report on anything substantive anyway.
