From the many comments here, the truth seems to be emerging. The truth is not fully known, of course, because we haven't heard Ms. Goldberg's side of the story.
That said, the comment above that "when you have 5 council members that don’t normally agree on anything suddenly make a unanimous vote to agree" speaks volumes. My take -- and it's worth precisely $0.02 -- is that the Town Council was trying to do the right thing by sparing Ms. Goldberg some public unpleasantness but they more or less forgot that everyone is entitled to a public hearing, even if the result of that hearing is for the petitioner to shoot off their own foot business-wise and reputation-wise.
In the hopes of saving some lawyers' fees and the resources of the courts, perhaps Ms. Goldberg can petition for a formal hearing, the Town Council can grant it, and Messrs. Sigourney and Wesson can attend such a hearing and speak publicly. I believe that would get this to an end result the quickest and cheapest.
If Mr. Hayes were there to write it all down and post the results here, well, that would just be a bonus for the rest of us clucking hens.
