opihikao - they accepted over $2 million dollars in "settlement". Auwe!
ironyak - Are you equally upset with county, state, and PGV for using our money to settle what are implied to be baseless claims without merit?
opihikao - Absolutely. Except it is County funds used, not the State, nor PGV.

opihikao - I wonder, however, for the 70+ who sued and "won" by settling out of court (claiming to be paid "millions of dollars"), be construed as a "successful suit"? Many testified at council meetings that they were plaintiffs and got "settlements".
ORMAT/PGV paid the plaintiffs without any admission of fault as I understand the settlement agreement.

Sorry for re-quoting, just trying to clarify the "millions of dollars" in settlements. This of course does not include other damages paid out by PGV in separate suits, nor associated legal fees for the state and county on these matters.
It appears PGV has paid more in direct settlements with undisclosed terms than for any health surveys/assessments/studies to date including county expenditures from the Geothermal Asset Fund? Thoughts on why this would be?
