At 4:36 this afternoon Kelley filed his closing arguments with the Service list. It consists of 2 documents which his cover email describes as “the Final Brief of Pleasant Pond Mill LLC in the Clary Lake Water Level Proceeding, accompanied by an Exhibit comprised primarily of DEP Communications obtained under the (second) Freedom of Access Act, as well as a few pages from State of Maine databases, of which PPM believes it important that the agency take judicial Notice.” I haven’t read them yet. I’m sure I’ll have some comments when I’m done… I’m afraid, knowing Kelley, it’s going to be tough sledding to get through them.
Well I finished reading Kelley’s closing brief. It was agony. Most of his arguments have been raised already, and dismissed and the rest, as far as I’m concerned, are irrelevant to the determination of a water level.
