Dr. Barry Kort  lives in a Condominium located along the flowage of
the Shawsheen River in Bedford
Massachussets. The land alongside the river include Wetlands and
Conservation Lands owned by
the Town of Bedford and protected by the Bedford Conservation ByLaws
and by the Wetlands
Protection Act. Some Unit Owners decided to build a golf course on
this land, and did so without
notification to the Town, without approval from the Planning Board and
Conservation Commission,
and without approval of the remaining Unit Owners. The Trustees of
Bedfordshire then assumed the
cost of maintaining the golf course and rolled the expenses into the
annual budget. 

Dr. Kort  protested the invasion and conversion of the Wetlands and
Conservation Lands for the
construction of an unapproved golf course, and refused to pay for it.
The Trustees then filed a
lawsuit in Superior Court, seeking an order to sell his condo. Dr.
Kort counter-sued the
Trustees, alleging willful breach of trust and exceeding their lawful
authority. You can read the
pleadings in the case at
http://www.musenet.org/~bkort/bedfordshire.html and send messages of
support to Dr. Kort at moulton@musenet.org 

If the Trustees win the case, Dr. Kort  will lose his condo and be
forced to move away. Your letters of support will be forwarded to the
Trustees, with copies to town officials and to the local newspaper. If
you give your permission, they may also be reposted on the the Web
pages here.
