Wicked Local WEYMOUTH- Town Solicitor Joseph Callanan said legal precedents don’t allow Town Council to file a legal brief with federal regulators about safety and health concerns posed by a natural gas compressor station in the Fore River Basin. "Collectively, the Town Council does not have the authority to sue," he said during a Council meeting, March 8. “If you do it as individuals, I have no problem with that.” Councilor-at-large Rebecca Haugh said her colleagues could draft a letter that details their concerns about the compressor station and give it to residents or community groups who seek an intervenor status with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission.
