If memory serves, the facts of the other case were somewhat different - more than two towns in the region, no negotiation over their agreement - so no one really knows what the outcome would be of a suit by Northborough.

The fact that a separate contract WAS negotiated points to the fact that the contract was more specific to this particular project and should, in my opinion, take precedent. Now Northborough is trying to rewrite history and that is not fair, or in this case, legal. A contract is in place which both parties agreed to. It should stand.

Does 70B prevail, or the specific contract that Southborough and NBRO executed? It is an interesting legal question. Does 70B prevail, or the specific contract that Southborough and NBRO executed?
