Town of Weston v. Saugatuck Land Trust Co.
About This Legal Opinion
The opinion is sparse on the details of what sort of organization SLTC is. A discussion with Town officials revealed that the Town considered the organization an alter ego of its founder, and not a legitimate charitable organization. SLCT is listed on IRS Publication 78 as a private foundation.
