Don't Mess With Publius

If you thought Pomona City Attorney Arnold Glassman-Alvarez (can anyone explain the hyphenation?) stepped on his you-know-what when he sent an ill thought out "cease and desist" letter to the publishers of the Foothill City Blog, he was given a major hard hanky when he received a response from the blog's high powered Wilshire Boulevard attorneys.

You may remember that Attorney Glassman-Alvarez thought he could scare the crap out of FC for publishing stories that reported various allegations against the Pomona's controversial City Manager, Doug Dunlap.

Well he thought wrong. And it looks like should Pomona go after the blog, they're just going to waste the City's money and set it up for the bloggers to get a very nice payday.

Score one for the bloggers. Maybe Pomona should fire Arnold and find an attorney who has a clue.

why do you think Jaime Green never sued me, as long as it is the truth you are protected from any litigation stemming from accusations of libel and defamation.

And when one is an elected official it behooves them not to retaliate because if it is the truth then everyone finds out

The wierd thing is that this whole mess of Doug Dunlop hiring his decades younger girlfrined into the City of Pomona is likely true...how much will THAT cost the city of pomona when FC sues them???
