All of that creates a question that reaches beyond whether the city’s allegations are eventually proved:Is pursuing this lawsuit worth what it may ultimately cost Senoia and the people it is suing? Simmons, Pearman and Fisher deny that the compensation changes were unauthorized. The city alleges Simmons used city property to dispose of debris from a church with which he had personal ties. It may also be responsible for court costs and could face requests for the defendants’ attorney fees and litigation expenses. And it will not answer the broader question Senoia residents may ultimately have to judge for themselves:Was the possible recovery worth the money, division and risk required to pursue it?
