Saint Mary's County commissioners authorized claims in Centas class action settlement

The St. Mary's County Commissioners convened on April 1 to discuss a significant motion regarding a class action settlement that could potentially benefit the county financially. Commissioner Colvin introduced a motion to approve the submission of claims related to a class action lawsuit against a company that provides services to the county. This lawsuit addresses allegations that the company may have overcharged the county for its services.

By joining this litigation, the county aims to seek a refund or rebate for the funds it has previously paid. The motion received unanimous support from the commissioners, indicating a collective agreement on the importance of pursuing this financial remedy.

This decision reflects the county's commitment to ensuring fiscal responsibility and accountability in its dealings with service providers. By actively participating in the class action, St. Mary's County is taking steps to protect taxpayer dollars and potentially recover funds that could be redirected to community services.

As the county moves forward with this claim, residents can look forward to updates on the outcome of the litigation and any financial implications it may have for the community. The commissioners' swift action demonstrates their dedication to addressing issues that directly impact the local economy and the well-being of residents.
