Let&#8217;s do a BreakDown on it&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s get a quick Big Board&#8230;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>If this had been a regular &#8220;here&#8217;s how this Duke Energy settlement thing is going&#8221; type of meeting, it would have been over in less than an hour.<\/li>\n<li>Since council has another closed session with legal counsel scheduled next Thursday before the regular meeting, I&#8217;m betting that&#8217;s going to be the deal day.<\/li>\n<li>We&#8217;ll know if Duke Energy&#8217;s representatives are at that council meeting. There&#8217;s only three items on that meeting&#8217;s agenda so it would be a very quick meeting. We&#8217;ll be watching for that.<\/li>\n<li>I questioned the coal ash attorneys as they left. I got mostly the &#8220;We can&#8217;t comment on pending potential litigation&#8221;, as expected. When I asked &#8220;Would you say that Duke Energy is being cooperative in your negotiations?&#8221;, the lead attorney said &#8220;I believe that they want to be.&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>I didn&#8217;t see many smiling happy faces coming out of the meeting. The meeting lasted a long time. I&#8217;m speculating that they were told that this wouldn&#8217;t be a Cash Jackpot coming. That makes sense because Duke Energy has pretty much done everything that they required to do now.\u00a0 Any &#8220;pain &amp; suffering&#8221; types of money will probably be in the form of &#8220;Duke Energy Loves Danville&#8221; projects like beautiful new River district signs and um.. how about $500,000 to make Abreu\/Grogan Park bigger and prettier? Hey, they&#8217;ve already done that.<\/li>\n<li><a title=\"Duke Energy: Making It Right***\" href=\"http:\/\/www.southsidecentral.com\/wordpress\/2014\/09\/24\/duke-energy-making-it-right\/\" target=\"_blank\">As I said before, neither party wants this to go to a trial<\/a>. Duke Energy is smart. Duke Energy has good lawyers. Make the goodwill payments to make people happy and they&#8217;ll never be seen back in Danville again.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>That&#8217;s a quick BreakDown.
