Impact analysis
Taxpayers are on the hook for expensive legal fees and potential court settlements because the city refused to pay a $1.1 million repair bill.
No one really wins here, except maybe the lawyers who are about to bill hours for a messy lawsuit.
Local taxpayers take the hit since they'll end up paying for the city's costly legal defense when the Browns inevitably sue.
