Wilbur Parker v. Town of Milton

Summary

The Court affirmed dismissal of the plaintiffs' challenge to a bridge encroachment permit. It held that public-trust beneficiaries must allege a particularized injury, and that the plaintiffs alleged only generalized public and economic concerns. It also held that the public information meeting did not implicate a protected property interest, did not support an equal-protection claim, and did not require a contested-case hearing for these plaintiffs under the Vermont Administrative Procedure Act.
