Tom, where do you get the impression that local government is attempting to “deprive the company if it’s rights”? Based on Laidlaws history in Ellicottville NY, it’s safe to say that Laidlaw would be threatening a Lawsuit if that were the case. And since they are not, I believe your statement is false.
Surely you are not suggesting that the City not work with Laidlaw through the EFSEC process? Which is exactly what they are proposing to do as indicated by the action taken to fund legal council in order to assure the citizens get proper representation. I thought that is what Laidlaw wanted.
