My reading of the article shows a decision that the right of residents to sue the government for neglect actions was not specifically granted in this instance.

Personally, after reading the specifics from the article, but without further details, I am currently disappointed in this ruling.

I feel like if a private company can be sued for negligence resulting in material loss, then we should be able to equally keep our public services accountable to that same standard.
