In early December, the Mets locked up the face of their franchise by giving third baseman David Wright seven years and $122MM in new money. Some will argue that the Mets had to retain Wright, unless they wanted to deal with a revolt from fans who haven t seen them finish better than fourth place since 2008. The Madoff suit had been settled prior to the season, and Wright was coming off a vintage year. This was more than just a contract extension; it was a grand gesture to fans.

Johnstown Water Board files lawsuit against city | The Daily Gazette
SECTIONS
The independently elected Johnstown Water Board has filed a lawsuit seeking to regain control of its NBT bank accounts, the city’s Water Department personnel and its budget from the city of Johnstown and lame duck officials Mayor Vern Jackson and City Treasurer Mike Gifford.
Water Board member Brandon Lyon introduced the resolution to hire Albany-based law firm Goldberger & Kremer at the board’s meeting Tuesday, stating Johnstown City Attorney Michael Poulin has denied the Water Board’s requests to “enforce the city charter” and has advised the Water Board that the Common Council will not authorize the Water Board to hire outside legal council to begin legal action against the city. The board voted unanimously to hire the law firm anyway, defying Poulin and the Common Council’s authority.
