Lawyers for 70 towns served by the state’s trash authority, the Connecticut Resources Recovery Authority, are preparing a second legal challenge.
The towns had successfully sued the agency over its $220 million failed energy agreement in 2001 with the now-bankrupt Enron Corp. and were awarded $36 million.
Now, an auditor hired by Vernon officials has found inappropriate assumptions and charges in the authority’s recently approved Mid-Conn budget for 2009.
That auditor’s report has prompted the towns’ lawyers to prepare a request for an injunction against CRRA.
The injunction would bar CRRA from imposing a fee of $72 for each ton of trash that the towns take to the authority’s trash-burning plant in Hartford beginning July 1.
