UNION CITY — A Union City man says he won’t claim any cash from a court judgment against the Union City Hometown Heroes Project.
The nonprofit organization honors more than 225 Union City veterans on banners mounted on utility poles in the town.
A Sept. 6 district court ruling required the organization to pay $6,677 to Lance L. Greer, who claimed that his motor home was damaged by one of the banners. But Greer and his wife said Monday that they would not seek any money from the judgment.
“They wanted it known that the intention wasn’t about money, that they never wanted to hurt Hometown Heroes or see banners come down, and that they would not be cashing in on the (judgment),” Union City Borough Council President Riley Cross said. Cross said that the Greers called him just before Monday night’s council meeting and asked him to share that information.
The Greers later said that they had submitted paperwork to the court essentially ending their claim, Cross said.
