Preface: I know The Deal, as I have worked for a major daily (Indy Star) and edited a statewide weekly (Call & Post). Major press swoops in and chokes the Truth out of whatever they don't want to talk about with their grubby hegemonic hands.
To wit, in another life in the 1990's the Columbus Alive was a fantastic alternative paper. They were cutting edge and loved the Civil Rights and First Amendment cases I filed that I almost always won. Even when I technically lost, my clients got what they wanted they just didn't get paid as they should have because of corruption.
Then the major press -- Columbus Dispatch -- bought the Columbus Alive and I never got a call or a story again. It's shitty and that's why I will never again grovel for some bullshit editor who tells me what I can and cannot do. No way. RIP Jerry Doyle, you were the best.
Meanwhile here in present day Seattle, suing MERS is but one way the City could help fund solutions to the mortgage crisis. See this recent post containing the video and lawsuit link as well. But when I asked them for their notes as to why they would not do it, as other Counties have done in Oregon, they stonewalled my public records request as seen in my lawsuit and so I had to sue City Council last week, on 11 September 2018.

Mike are you going to follow up on this?

Good Afternoon, Sir!
When I wrote you last week you said you would look at it after I filed. I filed the next day, 11 September. It is now 17 September and I have not heard from you in spite of the facts that:
1. The lawsuit is timely.
2. The lawsuit is topical -- particularly in light of your coverage of open government issues and the Lincoln Beauregard lawsuit that is also currently pending on a directly relevant public records issue.
3. Seattle itself admitted that it has to go "back to the drawing board" on homeless funding and development.
As you know, I have worked for major daily press as a reporter and edited a statewide weekly prior to law school. I am asking for professional courtesy on this as to you and your editor's intentions as I gave you the first crack at this for print media.
Thank you.

And did I neglect to mention that I usually win these lawsuits?
"The Court finds that the present lawsuit was necessary in order for the plaintiff to obtain the documents.... the Franconia Defendants are responsible for the plaintiff's cost in bringing suit to obtain the records.....the Court reserves judgment on the proportion of an award of costs to be paid by each of the Defendants to the plaintiff until after the Court has conducted its in camera review of the documents to be provided by the Attorney General."
Lawsuit settled after I filed for Summary Judgment and Mr. Berlo got to build his home, finally.
Meanwhile he is the subject of one of my TV shows for fighting racism in Boston Fire Department. http://christopher-king.blogspot.com/2018/05/kingcast-presents-lights-camera-action_7.html https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_g3UrHdj8qA
Just want you to be fully informed my Fourth Estate Brother,
Peace.
