Gunnison files lawsuit over leaking gasoline storage tanks

Chances are good that Gunnison will lose and end up losing a lot of money to their lawyer in the process. A small town like that can't afford it.

Isn't it interesting that Wind River is co-owned by former Salt Lake City Councilman and GOP mayoral candidate Keith Christensen.

Why wasn't this mentioned in the article?

What makes you think that Gunnison will lose the lawsuit? I may not be an expert but I'm pretty good with logic, and it seems like they have good case to me.

in a case like this it will come down to paperwork and numbers. if the papwerwork and the numbers do not match up the state will look deeper. i have personally witnessed the state go through gas station/travel plaza operations with respect to fuel management and it is not a pleasant thing. if there is anything to find the state (along with the EPA) will find it and the fines will be hefty.

What goes around comes around. Read up on Marie Antoinette. Her affluence went to her head and then she lost it. When you set yourself apart as better than most, life sometimes hands you a lesson. The little people have united and the king on the hill may well topple.

The city is not responsible for anything. The city attorney that filed the lawsuit is assuming all the risks, which means they must know something, or have a witness that will testify against Top Stop.

My sister lives in Gunnison. She said this problem is a big deal for the residents. Of course Gunnison has grounds to sue, and I believe for negligence. This will create a change in Top Stops attitude towards testing, and save some other place a catasrophe in the future.
