The lawsuit between the East Hampton School District and Sandpebble Builders took a public turn this week, with both the school district and the construction company issuing statements in which they threatened to take the matter to trial rather than settling to save on lawyers’ fees.
The construction company, which is owned by Victor Canseco, sued the school district for $3.75 million in 2006, claiming that it was illegally terminated when the district hired another construction manager as it embarked upon an $80 million, three-school construction project.
The school district fired the first shot this week: a declaration on Friday morning that Sandpebble had offered to settle for $2.9 million back in December 2010, but had backed away from that offer as recently as February 6 of this year.

And Jackie Lowey - was she missquoted? she can't be that dumb can she?
First the japan quote and then the bleeding to death remark.
You were bled to death by lawyers and the incompetent school board that was there before you. Plain and simple. the contractor had a contract and the district tried to break it.
Kudos to Lowey for saying what others haven't and standing up for us.
From what I have read, it seems to be an open and shut case. The contractor had an executed contract and the district backed out, opting not to include the contractor in the bigger project.
From where I stand, it looks like the district will be out 3m in legal fees and then 3.7 mil in damages.
A total horrid mess that no one will be made accountable for.
There are skid marks in front of the snake.
Fiddle Fiddle Fiddle.
