    Small victory for Farmers Branch.

    Email I received.

    You are all well aware that the City of Farmers Branch has been
    invovled in several lawsuits relating to the passage of Ordinance
    2903. There are multiple plantiffs, including the owners of the
    Villas at Parkside apartments. This plantiff was seeking monetary
    damages, claiming that the talk of the ordinance was driving potential
    residents away and hurting the business. During last May's election,
    the opposition to Ordinance 2903 (and the lawyers at Bickel and
    Brewer) boasted long and loud that this ordinance would cost the city
    millions of dollars in legal fees and damages. Well, yesterday, Judge
    Lindsay ruled that the plantiffs are not entitled to receive any
    monetary damages. This is great news.

    I will have more info about this on my blog shortly.

    Have a great week!

    Good news!!

    If someone can sue because discussion of passing an ordinance can be construed as causing them potential harm - they could shut down any open discussion of anything. They could shut down any changes.

    If the talk is costing them residents - it means they are renting to illegals - how do these people get this stuff even in front of a judge.

    I'll bet our tax dollars paid for their lawyer - maybe through LaRaza.

    Now, lets just hope that Hazleton, PA has the same results-----as they are trying to get THOUSANDS of dollars from Hazleton.

    If you find an article, can you email it to Mayor Lou Barletta in Hazleton, PA?? As they are trying to get THOUSANDS of dolllars from Hazleton, and I don't think tht the judge ruled on this yet.
