THE CLAIM
The Town’s Response
As the Town’s response to my concern about an apparent conflict of interest on the Town Council was to hire an attorney to investigate me, I was forced to retain an attorney at my own expense to help defend me from the Town’s aggressive investigator.
The Town Council ultimately terminated the investigation without finding any ethics violation on my part.
However, in order to protect future volunteers from this kind of harrassment, I filed a government claim against the Town. The claim details the egregious conduct by the Town. In my claim, I asked that the Town agree to reform its unconstitutional ethics guidelines and to reimburse me for my attorney’s fees.
