Sources say...

... that an attorney for the City of Hudson has filed a response to the HPOC tax assessment lawsuit which essentially throws in the towel.

Meanwhile, rumor is that the School District has responded not to the substance of the suit, but merely complaining that the injunction sought would cause great complications and hardship (hard to imagine, since the suit simply asks for the 2009 assessments to remain in place, with the 2010 Hudson "full reval" voided). No word on whether the final party served with papers on Monday, namely the County, has responded. Tomorrow (Friday) is the deadline for replies.

It should be emphasized that the above are only rumors at this point, not having seen any actual new filings firsthand.
