Irving mayor sued for allegedly calling activist a “whore”
The mayor calls the suit a distraction.
IRVING — Anthony Bond is an Irving community activist and has filed a lawsuit against Irving’s Mayor Beth Van Duyne for defamation of character.
Last week, Mayor Duyne called Bond a “whore” after Bond made allegations against Tommy Gonzalez, city manager. Bond claimed that he received tickets for the city manager for sporting and other events at the American Airline Center, and left the tickets on Gonzalez’s doorstep. During a local news interview Van Dunye was quoted as calling Bond a “whore” for his behavior.
Bond has now filed a defamation suit against Van Duyne and claims she tarnished his character and image among his family, friends, and others. The lawsuit does not seek monetary compensation, he does however want Van Duyne to refrain from making such inappropriate comments.
Van Duyne plans to get a personal attorney to represent her in the case of what she referred to as a “distraction.”

http://irvingblog.dallasnews.com/2012... But they give a pic with a little more context.
So this guy admits to helping to scam contracts under the radar with favors and then -- um.. it doesn't go his way, so blows the whistle? And has problems being called on it. What would a better term be?
Or can somebody give a little more background. Looks way funny to me.

Elizabeth or Beth as she likes to be called, has been dumped by her husband of 17 years. She is trying to hide the divorce by having her mother file the divorce under her initial EAV. The case is in the 330th Family District Court #DF 12-10253. What is she hiding? Paternity issues, affairs, illegal drug use, alcoholism, financial woes, tax problems?
