In a surprise visit to our location, Mayor Don Hudson arrived at approximately 11:00 this morning to announce his intention to have the City Attorney pursue a lawsuit against Wilmer Public Citizen for our June 11 article, "Developer Hosts Party for City Employees & Politicos."
Mayor Don Hudson arrived at Wilmer Public Citizen today to announce his intention to sue this publisher for inaccuracies and erroneous facts in our reporting of the invitation-only party held by Xebec Realty Partners in Cottonwood Valley Nature Preserve and Park on Saturday. The mayor said his remarks were on the record and that he intended to eliminate our use of the word "Wilmer" in our reporting. He also said that he intended to press litigation every time the word Wilmer was used in our publication. City Attorney Bob Hager could not be reached for comment.
As he was leaving the premises, the mayor was asked directly if he had any interest in correcting or revising the allegedly erroneous material published previously. He stated that he would leave the matter of what the errors were up to the City Attorney to resolve. In short, the mayor does not seem to be interested in resolving reporting errors - only to press forward with litigation. Our implicit offer to correct or revise the reporting issues was rejected.
We anticipate some changes in the format of our publication, specifically we are in the process of establishing a "Legal Defense Fund" using Paypal and will furnish a link for donations to this fund. As our publication is syndicated by a number of online news services, we would hope that some assistance becomes available from other "defenders of the First Amendment."

Doesn’t your attorney generally make those sorts of announcements for you? Sounds like someone just wanted to throw a temper tantrum.
