The Vermont Supreme Court posted two decisions on Friday, January 26, 2007, in favor of SPF municipal clients.

In Clift v. City of South Burlington the City Council's decision not to place an advisory question on the City's ballot was upheld. The decision to include advisory ballot questions on issues "wholly outside the purview of the City and its voters" is committed to the discretion of the City Council.

In In re Appeal of Hildebrand, the Court upheld the application of the "changed circumstances" analysis developed in the Court's Stowe Club Highlands decision to a local subdivision permit in Waitsfield.

Both of these decisions are discussed in greater detail in the Recent Developments portion of the webpage. Click on the link to the right to read more.
