Broward judge rules in favor of Waste Management and against Ron Bergeron in long-running recycling business dispute

Six acrimonious years of litigation that climaxed last month in a four-week trial, ended Friday when a Broward judge ruled there was no evidence that Waste Management and its co-defendants conspired to ruin the recycling business of Davie businessman Ron Bergeron.
 
Chief Judge Jack Tuter’s sweeping ruling, rejecting Bergeron’s legal arguments at every turn, is a crushing defeat for the wealthy, politically connected land baron who currently serves on the governing board of the South Florida Water Management District.
