Lawsuit Filed For Over Eight Million Dollars Against The EDC and IDB
When The Industrial Development Board And The
Economic Development Commission Get Sued Why Are The Citizens Kept In The Dark
Even While They Are Paying The Bills?
The Industrial Development Board Of The City Of
Pulaski And Giles County, Tennessee; And The Giles County Economic Development
Commission Have Been Named As Defendants In A Lawsuit Filed By Outpost Solar,
LLC For Over Eight Million Dollars.
It seems that there are many questions that need to
be asked but very few answers being given by those in authority. The newspaper
has had most all the information about this lawsuit for some time but for some
reason have chosen not to publish the story or ask the questions citizens
deserve the answers to.
1. What happened to Outpost Solar and why were they
forced out of business in Giles County?
2. Why is Outpost Solar, LLC suing the Industrial
Development Board and the Economic Development Board for over eight million
dollars?
3. Why has nothing about this large lawsuit been in
the local papers?
4. How much are the legal fees and where is the
money coming from to pay the very large legal bills in this suit?
5. Is there a line item in the budget where the
expense for this suit is clearly shown?
6. Why is City Hall so quiet about this matter?
7. Did Jim Greene Sr. conspire with Dan Speer to
purchase a building sell, all the contents then get a grant for the full cost
of the building?
8. Is the grant Mr. Greene received being reclaimed
the way the one Don Parr received is when Mr. Greene has failed to hire the
required number of employees. Surely it could not be a personal matter?
9. Are payments due on a loan with 1st National Bank
routinely missed then penalties paid with nothing to the principal? Could there
possible be too much conflict of interests between the Boards and the Bank?
There are many more questions to be asked but nine should be enough for the moment.
