Diane, Did you know that an appeal only has about a 4% chance of succeeding. In this particular case, the decision to appeal becomes a little tougher for 2 reasons. First, Greenwood asked for relief. The courts feel like a 11.9 million dollar settlement is a considerable amount of relief. Then the court dropped the "commerce clause" bomb on us...we didn't just violate some obscure rule of law, we decided to take on the U.S. Constitution... So, should we appeal the Court’s deci­sion regard­ing quarry trucks being able to use 2nd Avenue?" Personally, I'd have to think twice before I did. It is a huge decision.

The answer should read "My wife and I pur­chased our home in October 2003 and became res­i­dents of Greenwood in December 2003." Thanks.
