The suit started out to include the City of Laconia as well but the Judge agreed to exclude the city from any responsibility for some legal reason. Route 3 is a state road. Big article in yesterday's LaDaSun.
In the article, it says that Judge Smukler has agreed to letting the suit continue and thinks that the Motorcycle Week Association may have some responsibilty for the deaths. It talks a lot about driving and drinking and Bike Week and Laconia.
A big question in the lawsuit is: Who owns Bike Week? Is it the City of Laconia or the Motorcycle Week Association?

OK wait a minute, hold the horses.... and many other sayings that could come out here. Does anyone have more information on this. This at first glance looks like something that shouldn't be in the courts. It unfortunate that some people are dead. However why would the City of Laconia or the MWA have any fault in the matter......
