Pension Board lawyer Hugh Wright agreed with Ferguson's lawyer, Rod Gillis the costs would have been substantially lower had he been successful. Common Councillor and former Pension Board trustee, Chris Titus wrote a letter saying questions were being raised about the city's pension plan with good intentions but without a full understanding of the facts. Another letter written by then Councillor Ivan Court in 2007 warned going ahead with the lawsuit against Ferguson would set a dangerous precedent.
Ferguson is currently the Town Manager of St. Stephen.
