Town, Florence Copper can’t come to terms
by Mark Cowling | Florence Reminder & Blade Tribune
The town and Florence Copper are finally commenting on the town’s offer to bury the hatchet this summer.
In a Dec. 4 news release, the town said Florence Copper refused its olive branch, which included paying the company $1.7 million in legal fees awarded by a Maricopa County Superior Court judge.
“It seems that Florence Copper, through its Facebook posts and press releases, seeks to put a critical eye on the town,” the town’s announcement said. “We believe people should be asking Florence Copper exactly what it wants from the town to end the litigation. The town’s offer was substantially more beneficial to Florence Copper than the decision entered by the trial judge,” the town said.
