And he still may once the dust settles and there is a little money in the bank.

Defamation generally only has a 1 or 2 year limitation statute depending on the state. Edit - just checked New Hampshire is one of a few states that is 3 years. So there is a little time left.

Plus, why would he not avail himself of the opportunity to take out his biggest critic?

Certainly, not suing proves absolutely nothing...but what JE declared in public would be considered defamation if it was not true...doesn't make it true, but there was a comfort level somewhere in publicly stating it as such.

"And he still may once the dust settles and there is a little money in the bank. He could always to it on his own with personal finances but JE probably doesn't have anything worth taking away."

JE seemed careful enough in providing direct quotes from statements of record. For example:

In summation of their findings, the Ellicottville Planning Board stated that “Unfortunately, this mendacious attitude and reluctance to cooperate was the distinguishing feature of Laidlaw’s performance in the application review procedure; even when under court order to turn over information, Laidlaw was
late and incomplete in doing so.”

Bart has the following choices:

Be prepared to prove the quote never existed, and JE has fabricated it out of thin air.

or

Be prepared to prove the Ellicottville Planning Board was slandering his business reputation, and demand a retraction from then, and then a subsequent deletion from the NH submission.

Then again city boards have their own lawyers review such findings before being issued. And the dust has long settled on it.

Neither does it take $10s of thousands to have a lawyer write a letter demanding a retraction for false statements, and threatening a follow up lawsuit if it isn't done.

Why would a Bart allow this history go unchallenged, reflecting on his reputation for years to come? Only one answer - it's accurate, and can not be challenged.
