CFP Sets Interviews for Lawyers
The legal committee of Constituency for Progress has asked me to issue an open call for any civic-minded licensed attorney (no leaglebeagles) or law firm interested in taking on a public interest action with Constituency for Progress as plaintiff to contact me to arrange for an interview with the committee.
Specifically, the committee is researching the viability of a public interest class-action lawsuit against the City Council of New Albany if they choose to endanger the creditworthiness of the city by needlessly adding to the costs of an upcoming bond issue by neglecting to include a pledge to commit the city's property taxing authority and property tax proceeds as an additional guarantee and credit enhancement for the bonds for construction of the redevelopment project known as Scribner Place, Phase I.
Proposed defendants would be the authorizing body of the City Council jointly, and each elected member that may constitute a majority in authorizing the depletion of future city revenues through misfeasance, malfeasance, or gross neglect of their joint and several liabilities to safeguard the fiscal soundness of the city. Interviewed attorneys should likewise be prepared to discuss strategy for defense of SLAPP and similar suits. Interviews will be conducted over the next two weeks. Contingency plans for service of process should be anticipated for the evening of July 21, 2005.
Non-CFP members wishing to join as class-action plaintiffs are invited to contact the legal committee of CFP.
