      A civil lawsuit brought against the West Point Fire District is now in the 
      hands of visiting Calaveras County Superior Court Judge John E. Griffin 
      Jr. Final arguments in the case were heard Friday.

      Attorneys representing Concerned Citizens for Responsible Government and 
      West Point fire faced off Thursday and Friday over the legitimacy of a 
      newly created fire assessment on properties in West Point and Wilseyville. 
      The civil lawsuit has tied up $146,000 that was raised for use by the fire 
      department to provide round-the-clock coverage in the area.

      “I haven’t been paid since March,” West Point Fire Chief Jim Carroll 
      testified Friday. “We’ve had to lay people off and if something doesn’t 
      happen the district will be out of money by November.”
      For the complete story, see Tuesday’s print edition of the Calaveras 
      Enterprise or our e-Edition.
