The Danbury City Council has signed off on putting more money in the City's litigation budget. An additional $300,000 was transferred to handle various lawsuits, including tax appeals. This is the 3rd time this year that money needed to be added, with the additional funds totalling $ 850,000. Officials say it's been an historic year for tax appeals settling or being resolved. One of the biggest issues this year is a lawsuit over assessments of the former Filene’s and Sears properties at the mall.
