Sir Issac Newton Coalition Sues Over FKAA Sewer Installation Project

After battling with FKAA and our County officials for almost seven months, we find it necessary to take our case to the Courts and our state wide elected officials.

I have prepared a request for injunction against FKAA, the County and The Clerk of the Courts in order to stop the construction from making our arguments moot.  The injunction asks that the Clerk of the Courts be ordered to audit the FKAA analysis and that FKAA produce the documents we requested up to four months ago.

Giannetti Construction has accelerated their work by four months and is now installing sewer line in Cudjoe Gardens and other contested areas.  The injunction is going through last minute edits and will be filed today.  A complete copy with attachments will be posted on the www.newtoncoalition.com web site and a copy of the pleading will be sent to everyone.  While we have included the County and Clerk of the Courts in the injunction, we are reaching out to them and asking that they support the injunction and  review the analysis for validity.

A 10 part report was prepared for the Governor outlining all of the areas of concern.  This was personally  provided to the County officials at the meeting on Tuesday and has been sent to the Governor, and our state representative and senator.  All of the report is on the web site.  We are pushing all three officials to move forward with legislation to have the FKAA BOD become an elected Board.

We also intervened in the Bond Validation hearing last week, arguing that the County did not follow the procedures set forth by the DEP.  If no agreement is reached and any party appeals the ruling from Judge Audlin, it may take six months before the County can issue the bonds.

Thanks for your continued support.  The Sir Isaac Newton Coalition has had contact from hundred of Keys citizens and the level of frustration they are expressing is getting louder.
