Read MoreWhen the Judge issued the decision, she wrongly asserted that I counseled the pro se citizen at the hearing. She cited me for potential criminal action for falsely representing myself as the attorney for this pro se litigant. I am concerned that my city has worked tirelessly to criminalize my RTK efforts even going so far as to have me arrested. Now we have a Judge abetting the City’s extraordinary retaliatory efforts to silence anyone who dares question them?
Read MoreI suspect that the city attorneys know the judges will align with the city, and the court will do its utmost to accommodate the city. This might be a reasonable approach if the City were dealing in good faith and honoring their words stated in court.
Read MoreThe above are instances of three different judges accommodating Mr. Bolton regardless of the burden his demands placed on plaintiffs and court time. It is puzzling why judges would enable Mr. Bolton by accepting his assertion that he would not communicate directly with opposing plaintiffs.

Read MoreMr. Cummings is running covert operations with extravagant projects paid for by taxpayers.
Read MoreMr. Cummings stated that these high costs are because the City wants to engage the public and encourage their participation, especially on the Main Street Downtown project. Really?
Read MoreAt Tuesday’s Budget Hearing, His Honor stated that if it were his choice, he would not be undertaking a property revaluation now. He blamed the state for this mess for ordering the 2022 update. Your Honor’s remarks were disingenuous, incredulous and just plain whiny.
