Tully law firm of Riehlman Shafer and Shafer, representing Flying J of Utah, is suing the town of Preble ZBA's decision to uphold Preble's laws... again! This is the second time Rick Shafer has done this to Preble, and it is for the exact same thing he sued us for, and lost big time, one year ago.

My prediction from last year.

"No matter what side of this issue you are on it is important that our towns laws are upheld. When a well paid lawyer like Shafer sues our town over our laws it is a great victory for all of us when he doesn't win. I expect that he will sue our town again as this process continues. It is a time honored practice for some lawyers to sue and sue again in order to wear down a small town like ours. If Shafer wins one of these frivolous lawsuits it will affect more than just the Flying J project. It will be a precedent for future projects that a proponent of Flying J may not like. Keep this in mind even if you want the Flying J."
