Commissioner Pohl stated he felt that the front page article in the November 24 Trail Gazette, regarding EPURA's filing of a lawsuit against Tom Binstock to collect legal fees, was inappropriate. This matter was previously reported in the Trail and included the Town s and Stanley Village developer's intent to file suit. It was noted that a retraction was printed in the November 20 Trail Gazette, located on the back page of section 3. The retraction stated, and correctly, that a motion had been filed, not a lawsuit.
