Former Augusta Mayor William E. Dowling is seeking an almost $900,000 lien against Kevin Mattson and his firms seeking back wages, unused vacation and sick pay, loan repayment and other costs, according to a complaint in Kennebec County Superior Court.
Dowling was mayor from 1999 to 2006. He also worked closely with developer Kevin Mattson and his businesses until late last year, according to the Kennebec Journal.
Dowling’s attorney is seeking to attach more than $500,000 on Mattson and Mattson Development and $380,000 on five other Mattson firms listed as Dirigo Capital Advisors LLC, Harper’s Development LLC, Central Maine Commerce Center Inc., Central Maine Commerce Center LP and Hallowell House LLC. Under attachment, a specific property can be transferred or sold.
Attorneys Thomas Federle and Stacy Stitham and Russell Pierce, representing the various defendants, have not yet filed a response in court. Federle said the defendants expect to file an answer by Tuesday or indicate to the court that the matter has been settled.
