This is disturbing

I agree that it should not be about money. It is about making HLA accountable for all their lies, deceptions and blatant dishonesty! They should not be allowed to get away with what they have been getting away with!!

The plaintiffs still say they will not settle without admission of wrongdoing by HLA. It's not about the money.
The proposed settlement also would benefit about 1000 families - HLA will have to compensate them all under the proposed agreement.
If the suit gets settled in this manner, I have it on good authority that several (maybe a dozen?) families will drop out of the class and file individual lawsuits based on fraud, abuse and neglect.
Keep in mind the goal all along was to have HLA regulated and now they are. Now they have to play by the rules or shut their doors. As such, make sure you continue to refer violations to ORS, like the unlicensed "drug treatment progrqam" - HLA will be fined or closed for their repeated blatant violations of Georgia law and ORS rules.

Settling on the condition that HLA admits wrong doing is like forcing two kids to apologize to each other after a fight. It is probably the right thing to do, but there is no sencerity behind it. I really doesn't mean anything if the admit wrong doing. I will be a way to pacify the plantiffs.
There is no getting around the fact that if they settle, it proves that it was about the money. Hypocritical to say the least.

Has it occured to any of you idiots suggesting this was about money, that the judge has sat on this case since January, refusing to certify the class OR allow discovery???
Has it occured to any of you that the plaintiffs may not have initiated this???
If you are denied the discovery process, how can you know basic things like, does HLA have any money or insurance, among other things??
How can you proceed with no information?
How long can a judge refuse to make a ruling on a class? How long can a judge refuse to allow discovery? After all.... he said he hadn't certified a class action since 1974. Why in the world would he start now? Must've been a friend bringing the class in 1974. Anyone know what that suit was about?
Did the judge use/abuse his powers to force a settlement? How long is a reasonable amount of time for lawfirms to 'wait' for a ruling?

THERE IS NO MONEY, IF THIS SETTLEMENT IS APPROVED. YOU NEED TO READ THE PRIOR POSTING...IT SHALL ENCOMPASS APPROX. 1000 FAMILIES... DIVIDE THAT BY NOTHING AND YOU GET NOTHING. THE REGULATION FROM ORS WAS SEPARATE FROM THE CLASS SUIT AND ACHIEVED AT THE GRASS ROOT LEVEL.
