Depositions are underway in the harassment suit against the city of Eureka, but the city’s attorney, Adrienne Moran, is reportedly struggling with a pesky reporter who is sitting in on the testimony.
Times-Standard reporter Thadeus Greenson attended the deposition of Larry Glass on Thursday, but left after Moran threatened to suspend the deposition until she could get an order from the court barring his presence.
Today, during the deposition of Mayor Virginia Bass, Greenson reportedly refused to leave, and Moran suspended the deposition.
Developing…
UPDATE: Full story at the Times-Standard.
Are reporters and or other members of the public generally allowed to sit in on a deposition?
I really don’t know the answer to that, but I’ve never thought that a deposition was like being in an open session of court.
Any of our lawyer friends out there know the answer?
holy shit batman, looks like catwoman has something to hide
Holy cow. Nothing says ‘secrets to hide’ than to try removing the public’s representative from the room. That’s what Greenson is doing there. He is the ear of Humboldt County. Eureka is the elbow, but lately it’s been acting more like an ass.
Perhaps Ms. Moran doesn’t appreciate the extent we in Eureka demand to know just how our sausage is made, and the delight we take in the knowing.
seems pretty simple. If the city has nothing to hide, and they think they have a strong case why would they not want it reported by an objective journalist? Why would they object to having Thad in the room for Larry’s testimony, the mayor’s testimony, the city manager’s testimony. I would think they would want the truth as they see it to come out and be reported. Stifling the press sure leads one to believe that they have something to hide or something they don’t want the public to know. These are public officials acting in official capacity; shouldn’t the public have a right to know? I can’t imagine why a reporter couldn’t report on the proceedings unless they deal with medical or confidential records, attorney client correspondence. The transcripts of the depositions are public record. I think the city must have something they dont’ want in the public arena.
So get some bloggers in the room. Demand an end to secrecy.
http://www.citmedialaw.org/legal-guide/california/access-public-records-california
under the exemptions section, looks like deposition transcripts are not exempt from public records law.
Whether Hansen makes her case or not, this screams that there are going to be some embarassing revelations and red faces and probably really upset spouses if stuff is made public. The city’s attorneys are gonna be earning their pay on this one.
Developing….
Let’s pop some corn and watch what unfolds. In the meantime can I get an “attaboy” for Thad?
Do they think all this information won’t come out in court? How are they going to keep that secret? I doubt any judge is going to allow a secret trial where the testimony is not made public. If the city doesn’t want the truth to leak out just settle the damn suit and save the money they are wasting on legal fees. I don’t think this victim is going to walk away, so maybe it is time for the city to cut its losses or lets make the information public so we can know shat our city officials have been up to.
THAD ROCKS! (Heraldo, too, of course)
the people need to fill that room!
Mayor Bass is protecting CM Tyson by going along with the city’s defense but she is doing it at the expense of her political future. Voters don’t like this kind of b.s.
The Mayor should insist on public testimony if she wants to get elected Supervisor, no matter what the city’s attorney advises.
Tell us where and when. Indeed. Let’s fill the room. The answer to secrecy is a shitload of people demanding transparency.
Moran seeks an order? have to bone up on this:

Depositions are occurring in a courtroom?
Every deposition I’ve ever heard of happened in some lawyers office with just counsel and a court reporter – even when it was public officials – and NOT open to the public.
Can someone please clarify this? Why is it happening in this fashion?
Watch the T-S for the lowdown.
Pass the popcorn. This is going to be interesting.
I’ve never heard of reporters — or pretty much any non-party — being allowed to attend depositions before, public official or not.
If this is what happened, then the T-S is either way off-base or it’s doing something very interesting.
Interesting is good. Journalists should do interesting things.
The point is, this is the public’s business. The testimony directly relates to how officials at city hall are conducting the city’s business. We have every right to know, especially if a city manager is harassing a city employee for personal reasons. If this is settled out of court, then chances are the real story will not come out. Thad needs to be there.
Remember not long ago that the city manager presented bogus information to the grand jury in regard to the police chief’s conduct. the managers information was found to be without merit. If the public is kept out of the loop, no one benefits except the guilty. This is no Iran.
If the Times-Standard doesn’t have a legal right to attend the deposition, why would the attorney choose to suspend the deposition instead of calling the cops to have the reporter removed?
Good job Thaddeus! Some real journalism is what this town needs. Sorry Virginia, but whatever you don;t want people to know, shoulda thought of that before running for supervisor. Comes with the territory. Just ask Jill.
Well, we all have heard about David doing the backdooor thing with Virginia…What did jill do?Remember these people work for us…and they knew what to expect when they ran for PUBLIC office..
Of course it wouldn’t occur to Hank Sims to challenge the powers that be and engage in some vigorous journalism.
Wow, 26 comments and we all seem to be pretty much in agreement. Surely this is a record. I have never heard of depositions being taken in public but I’ve never heard of them taken in a court room either.
I repeat -
Depositions are occurring in a courtroom?
Every deposition I’ve ever heard of happened in some lawyers office with just counsel and a court reporter – even when it was public officials – and NOT open to the public.
Can someone please clarify this? Why is it happening in this fashion?
H – I’ve read the TS coverage as you suggested and still don’t have a clue why a reporter was allowed in in the first place… They’re always closed to everyone but the concerned parties and counsel.
The spirit of Kenneth Starr, alive and well in Humboldt County.
Employee personnel issues are confidential, the judge is still evaluating if the suit has merit. Anyone else want Thad rummaging through your HR records and tossing it out for the masses? before allegations are proven and without a right to defend yourself?
In the balls department, Thad handily bests Hank. If an attorney is seeking a judge’s permission to ban the public from a deposition, that sure sounds like there is an inherent right for we the people to attend the deposition. Will the Journal join the Times-Standard in defending against a claim that the public be banned from the deposition?
Presumably it has to do with the deponents being public officials. I look forward to reading the T-S’s opposition to the protective order motion.
Hooray for Thaddeus! I don’t know how the T-S lucked out with him, but enjoy it while he’s still here.
With everything I’ve read about this case and the one that was settled; I still don’t have a clue about what is actually being alleged. What is she saying happened, exactly?
Blog Identities?
Yep, what was it Heraldo, 2 years ago we had that discussion about names and blogs and that people should really watch what they say or names can come out? Plenty of heat was generated through misunderstanding it seemed. If there exists anything juicy to use, money will be spent in collecting blog data!
BTW, a judge has “really no judicial power” outside his courtroom; not even in the hallways abutting the courtroom!
Anticipation!

As previously described:
The lawsuit was filed by former Eureka Police employee Tawnie Hansen, who previously won a $10,000 settlement against ex-EPD dispatcher Dee Dee Wilson over the now defunct “Above the Law” blog which defamed Hansen and Police Chief Garr Nielsen.
The new lawsuit alleges the city — and Tyson in particular — failed to prevent the harassment at issue in the Wilson case, and aided and abetted the harassment.
Tyson, as head honcho of the city, allegedly buried any investigation of Hansen’s claims with a “global investigation into any and all complaints” by EPD personnel despite a lack of any other grievance at the time.
“[R]ather than address Hansen’s specific grievance in the focused and expeditious manner required by law, the investigation of her grievance was instead delayed unreasonably and stretched out to a full year’s effort” while the harassment continued unabated, according to the complaint.
The lawsuit alleges Tyson wanted the harassment to continue because he had a personal friendship with Wilson, and because Hansen had rejected his sexual advances that included “touching her in a suggestive manner” and intimating his desire to engage in “a specific sexual act” with her.
Sorry H. for the double, double,
Last 3-4 days, multiple prints, comments, etc.. have doubled-up (I am still trying to figure out the gliche’ on my end).
My apology,

Confusion intentionally piled upon confusion to further obfuscate “The Truths” with political insiders. The voters of EUREKA AND Humboldt County deserve better!

We all know that politics makes for strange bedfellows, let’s not forget Clinton & the blue dress. Stay tuned everyone, I think by the time this is all over with, the scandal in Blue Lake is going to look like small potatoes!
Blue Lake?
Scandal?
Police Chief?
Political Insiders?
Yep, that one took a “public employee” to “uncover something” too. How come when a non-public employee has something of more important value regarding political abuses, it gets swept under the rug by people who take positions in government like these people before the public with THIS ISSUE? Yet, when it happens to them, everyone is “all eyes and ears”!
I will counter and say that what happens to us “little people” on an everyday basis makes THIS ISSUE look like a potatoe picker than the field of russet potatoes being picked.

Lets get the DNA on that spot and see who is really jacking us around.
I wonder if they will have to collect Wilson out from whatever rock she’s under and have her testify about the lawsuit she settled with Hansen. That doesn’t look good for Tyson considering Wilson’s sister was his right-hand gal (and who knows what else) for so long. He will have a hard time proving his relationships with those 2 and their hatred of the chief didn’t affect his decisions regarding Hansen’s complaint.
Considering how close a lot of those in city employ are, Hansen probably knows whose closets the skeletons are in. This could prove embarassing for some key figures, whether she wins her suit or not. In fact, I think it already has.
Jeffrey:
I think the reason it gets swept under the rug is that the political abuser is usually surrounded by people who protect him for their own purposes. The Eureka city council and staff are an extreme case in point. Corruption, power tripping, and backroom deals are what runs this city. It’s pretty unbelievable that its mayor is running for supervisor given the way she presides over Eureka. Totally unprofessional, unqualified… she may be a nice person, but no governance skills whatsoever.
10:36 am,
Exactly, but it seems like something deeper than that if the reality is well known that this is how it is. Ironically, it is not as if this type of situation has never occured before. So, knowing that we know this occurs, what do we do from this point forward? Allow for other reason for this type of scenario or issue to re-invent itself again on some other poor soul? Yes, it is much deeper than that of just those on the “political inside”.
This is why Government Code Sections needs a re-vist, re-addressment, re-look, etc… because I believe that the Government Code Sections allow for breaches of the U.S. and State Constitutions – civil rights, equal protections by the law, etc… when these sections allow protections for some of the people, but not ALL OF THE PEOPLE.

Perhaps they can hire John Edwards as a consultant??
how many bloggers in here work for the government?
I do.
I don’t.
It is unheard of for a plaintiff to invite the press into a deposition. Given the nature of the gratuitously sensationalistic accusations she’s throwing around (of all people to throw such accusations around no less), it seems like she’s just trying to bully the city into giving her money to stop the damage caused just by the accusations, using the press, and the anti-Tyson crowd as a weapon. If she had a case, you’d think she’d be ready to just try it in court, not the press. I felt sorry for her when the “Above the Law” Blog scumbags were trashing her, but her strategies in this case might just explain a little bit of why those folks disliked her so intensely.
The one thing the posters here seem to be missing, is that personel issues are highly confidential. Mayor Bass was about to be asked about her thoughts & actions on a number of city employees.
The city was right to insist the reporter be removed & the reporter should know better. The city could have been sued by some of those employees.
In all the depositions that I have been involved in, nobody but nobody was ever allowed to attend except those very directly involved.
If that were so HF why didnt they just call the police and have him removed??–
The one thing you seem to be missing is that the attorney didn’t call the cops to have the reporter thrown out. A judge is being asked to throw the reporter out.
What do you not understand about the public’s right to know? Are you really Hank?
Mayor Bass was about to be asked about her OWN actions. That’s not a personnel matter. And it appears Hansen IS ready to try it in court. This is just the first step. The city can try to setttle it at any step along the way before court if it chooses. And the reason the city’s attorney didn’t just call police to have Thad removed is because she wasn’t sure of the law either.
Anonymous 12:12
Everyone involved in the case will be deposed before the trial. Every word at these depositions are being recorded by a court clerk. At this point of the lawsuit, Ms. Hansen has little to do with anything,it is in the hands of the attorneys. As far as Ms. Hansen “Bullying” the city, this accusation is way out of line. I think if even half of what Ms. Hansen claims is true, this city bullied her for over a year. This one is going to cost our city Big Bucks! I think there are going to people in this city that will need to get their resumes updated when this trial is over with!
Slow down a bit anon….if you read the question…it seems they want to know???–They didnt say anyone called the police..It was a question…get some air and take a blood pressure pill…Davids wife already knows?
First of al anon 12:12, the plaintiff did not invite the reporter to attend the deposition. He attended because he felt it was newsworthy and presumably would report the proceedings accurately. As the the confidentiality of depositions, typically they are not consider confidential as the transcripts are readily available to the public. Depositions are not generally considered confidential unless the parties agree that portions of the testimony should be kept confidential or they fall under attorney client privilege. I fully expect that Thad is planning to attend the depos conducted by the city also. To portray this as a stunt or anything other than providing the public with information they have a right to know about their government officials is ridiculous.
I don’t work for the government. I agree with anon 1:27.
Does anybody really know this Tawnny woman? I doubt it. And, the one that bought into all this is the one that she is most notorious with. Geez, get a clue you people. Tyson is being made a target for political reasons, but this crap, and it is just that, CRAP. Listen to those ranting and raving the most and you will see that they are the ones with the political agenda.
Oh so you’re saying the allegations don’t have any merit because they’re from Hansen, wow that’s dark ages thinking, like when rape victims used to be treated like they asked for it by how the dressed.
Tyson’s a target because of his actions and lack of actions. There’s nothing political about it.
Well let’s see what we get when we dig a little into Tyson’s life. Maybe a womanizer who likes to drink and play footsies, but not with his wife
Or perhaps not….
1:27 seems to have the best grasp of the big picture out of all the commenters so far.
I also saw some pretty snarky innuendo &/or run-of-the-mill nastiness (some crack about Ms Hansens physique). Of course those comments (about both the plaintiff as well as others involved) are provided by anonymi and are nowhere accompanied by anything to back up the allegations or character assasinations.
I don’t know anything about this case, or its relative merit (from either side), but it is apparent that people like to talk trash and neither side of the issue is served by the personal shots.
I have no doubt that the shots will continue.
Ultimately, the facts, the deposition and everything else WILL be public record if it is not already. So other than the entertainment value of this interlude, it is of no consequence to the final disposition of the case.
And that final dispo is the ultimate comment on the validity of the suit.
Ultimately, if the city settles the facts probably won’t become public.
The city already seems anxious not to have the public know much, so if they settle what statement do you think that would make about the validity of the suit?
If this finishes before going to court, perhaps a citizen demand that any settlement on the part of the city be discussed at city council. If the City settles contingent on any type of non-disclosure requirement, then we all have cause for outrage. Not just for the backroom dealing, but also because a settlement indicates that the City (under Tysons regime) mis-managed the employee complaints to such a degree that it will cost us tax-payers big bucks. And if that comes to pass, it sure as heck isn’t the fault of the plaintiff who suffered the inappropriate and illegal harrasment.
Virginia Bass has allegedly had an affair with
David Tyson before she became married again. During
this time David Tyson was married. Think about it
Virginia is running for county supervisor. If this
is true and you know the questions will be asked;
who in their right mind would want it public.
As for David Tyson and the city, at anytime David
could have picked up a phone and said stop this
harassment. He is the boss. There is no gray area
and there is no plot against the city manager.
But, there is a need for ethics.
Alleged by who, other than a bunch of anonymous posters?
This shit is disgusting; it’s just as disgusting as the shit that the above the law blog was hurling out there as supposed facts.
Seems there are a bunch of posters who desparately want these allegations to be true, as well as the kind of innuendo posted at 6:09, as furthers their own political agenda; i.e. Tyson is in the developers back pocket.
Just like the Garr haters tried to take things he was eventually cleared of and run him out of town on innuendo.
If Tyson is guilty, he needs to go, and he will; neither the council or the public would put up with anything less.
If the remaining allegations against Garr Neilsen are true, (and yes, there are still a couple complaints being investigated) the same holds true.
Irregardless of political leanings.
At the very least Tsyon could have had the blog shut down, inaccessible by city computers, and look how long he let it go on. “Why” should be asked in his deposition. I would love to hear what he comes up with besides the truth, which is that the new chief was pissing off all his friends so he decided to play a wait & see game. He likes to play games. Hope he also likes it in the hot seat.
Wow, so much innuendo and so few actual facts…as an ignorant, local land-owner and voter I’m still very confused by all the references being made here. Easy to make disparaging, unsubstantiated remarks but I’m seeing no hard criticism with names and places. This all needs to be much more clear before me, a somewhat common voter can make a decision. It’s a problem with web blogs, let’s try to rise above that here. Or is this going to desegregate into just another forum for anonymous name-calling bullshit. I like to think we’re better than that…and I think this is important.
I guess that will depend on whether the reporters are allowed to attend the hearings. If they aren’t, we aren’t going to hear about it, are we.
One thing I think you can answer Heraldo…when the Above the Law site was posting and posting daily and visciously…it was allowed to go on and on and on. No one in the City thought to stop it. But when DT became the subject of Heraldo’s scrutiny, Heraldo was deleted from City of Eureka access immediately. I know you are proud of that!
Arguing against access to public information makes you disgusting.
To Curious of being found out….
I have known Tawnie since she went to high school. I worked with her. What she had to endure for so long at EPD, when she was asking the powers that be for help is just a crying shame. She is a great person who most people are drawn to, a great wife and mother. She has so totally been wronged. I wouldn’t wish what she has gone through on anyone.
I dont believe that’s quite correct, not a eurekan.
As has been stated above, the depositions will be part of the evidence, if things go to court.
If the city settles, then Tyson is toast, and one has to assume that it wasn’t from burnt bread.
I haven’t argued against access to public information, and obviously you dont have a clue as to what or what does not constitute public info.
So, in your mind hurling out innuendo, here on this blog against various council members and staff is ok?
I say that shit is just as disgusting as what was being done over at the ATL blog.
Please show where I have argued against access to public information. Try using a little comprehension when you read through these posts, it might help.
My understanding is that Tyson finally blocked Above the Law but not until it had gone on unimpeded for quite some time.
Tyson blocked the Herald in about early July 2009.
yes…Heraldo…but when comments started posting toward the suspicions pointed at DT, didn’t that shut down the Heraldo site at COE like immediately? I remember you were so proud of that!
Heraldo…do you have copies of the Above the Law comments?
I didn’t keep any copies of what was posted there. But I bet Hansen’s lawyer has copies.
I bet Hansen’s attorneys know exactly how long it went on, and have copies of the junk on it before it was taken off. This is probably some of the lawsuit ammo, to show a correlation between the date it was taken off and who the target was at the time.
Damn, it was ugly!
I wouldn’t have wished this bs on my favorite enemy….just tooo ugly. Some people just don’t grow up and move past high school.
And knowing who all was involved is even more saddening.
Here are some reactions by Humboldt Herald readers upon first seeing Above the Law.
Even though it hasn’t been proven who Serpico was, intelligent guesses say DD Wilson, and look where she is now. Casulty of her own little war.
I’ve tried to make my site as awful as the “Above the Law” blog was, but I can’t do it. I’m just too nice.
Luckily my commenters more than make up for it.
Hugs!
So, bookkeeper, bs, you come from the totally inept place, or maybe you are Tawnie in drag, BS. And 3:25pm is so of the mark, which has nothing to do with her actions which there are more than one persons who have seen her act weird with others, amoung, including her former boss. Are you kidding me by using that logic,get a clue! Sorry,totally tired of all this, you are all barking up the wrong tree. Let’s try talking with the spouse of real concern.
Obviously if an attorney is going to a judge instead of the cops to kick a reporter out, a public right exists.
Curiousofbeingfoundout needs a remedial English class.
Yeah, that and a brain.
Curiousofbeingfoundout writes like a former EPD PIO. Hmmmmmmm
This isn’t political ?
Read the disgusting post by the cowardly “anonymous” at 6.09pm and then look at the fact that there are more posts here than in any three other topics by Heraldo.
For all we know, 6.09pm was made by Bonnie Neeley herself.
This is all political. The left is mean, the left is nasty & the left is desperate. Slime, innuendo, nothing is beneath their sick need to take over Eureka politics.
6:09 said allegedly, High. If Hansen’s allegations are true, and some of them are irrefutable like the Above the Law blog and on-the-job harassment for which there are records as well as Wilson’s settlement, the next logical question is why it was allowed to continue unabated for so long. It isn’t political. It is a matter of principle, justice and being faithful watchdogs of government. You know, our jobs as citizens.
A few mouths ago High Finance would have nothing to do with Virginia as was going to reluctantly vote for Bonnie. I knew that was bullshit when I read it back then. If HF isn’t Matthew Owen it’s somebody pretty close.
amazing the unbelievable lack of irony in the rant HiFi layed down @9:17.
The utter indecency of the leading lights of the current conservative movement is manifest at only a moments glance.
While I don’t believe the current crop of rightist talking heads actually represents the majority of conservatively minded people here in the US, their leadership (and policy) is defined (and dictated to) by that same crop of bloviating jackasses that have led my life-long conservative father (one those old school types who act on principle regardless of any potential risk that might attach), to decry his political parties descent into disgracefulness.
Whoa– easy there on the run-on sentences loaded with parenthetical asides– w
hatever
As usual HF has his head up his own or someone eleses ASS..Is your name Randy and do you work for Mr. Arkley…I read your posts and I think someone must be paying you?
Who else is disagreeing with you?
hifi has some pretty mighty skills to claim all these postings are from the left.
Plain Jane has it right, there is plenty that is irrefutable and was witnessed. Some have made it political, some have not. If you are a public figure, though, or running for public office, you better be smart enough to know that anything you do can be colored with a political brush. And that’s the way it should be. The public has a right to know.
Bassackwards, I am not going to vote for Virginia Bass. I do not think she is a conservative. I do not think she has any core principles, she just wants to be liked. However, she is a decent person who doesn’t deserve the smears & slime thrown at her by annonymous cowards.
Smile, I don’t work for RA. Personally I don’t like him & he doesn’t like me. But I like the great things he has done for Eureka.
Plain Jane. If I charge that you molested your teenage son but then I put the word “allegedly” in front of it, does that make it OK? No. The accusation has already gone out with no proof, no facts. Anon 6.09 is a slimeball for putting that smear out there. But he fooled people like you.
High-five out to HiFi! By contrast, you can see how pleasant and kind conservatives are at the Humboldt Mirror blog.
Hugs!
If Tyson “spoke openly… of his potential sexual encounter with an elected Eureka official” as alleged in the complaint then he shouldn’t be surprised when people find out.
No High. 1) I am not an elected official or public employee. 2) I don’t have a teenage son (or one of any age) so “alleging” I molested him would be indefensible libel / slander. 3) Alleging someone committed adultery (not a crime) is quite different than alleging someone committed a heinous crime, but in your narrow little black / white world everything is equal.
hifi you didnt tell us how you KNOW everyone who posts stuff you don’t like about tyson, bass etc is leftist. Maybe you should have used the word alleged.
We are all responsible for what we say and do….ESPECIALLY when you are a public offical…Why does this seem such a hard thing to understand..If you run for office people want to know the truth….Not what you pretend to be..
Just to answer the question of who may attend a deposition, I skimmed over the CCP provisions and I don’t find anything on point. I know that the parties and their attorneys have a right to be there, and I know that a non-party witness may have his/her own attorney present. But I and other attorneys have always operated under the assumption that we could exclude non-parties. The only reason which has come up is that we didn’t want one witness being prompted by the testimony of another – which is why parties may request that all witnesses be excluded from the courtroom at trial.
As far as I know a deposition is not an event open to the public.
Here are the provisions. Maybe you’ll find something I missed.
http://law.justia.com/california/codes/ccp/2025.210-2025.280.html
No matter what your politics are, I don’t think there is any upside in this for the city or Tyson, Bass & company. If they settle they are going to look guilty, no matter how they try to spin it. And if they take it to court, with the possibility of more stuff coming out like that alleged in the lawsuit, they will be pretty embarassed at the very least.
I think Tawnie has won her case….court or settlement.
there have been a lot of people in history who have paid a lot of money for secrets being kept…I hope this doesnt cost our city a bunch of money…I’m sure sum hurt feelings…From the people involved…
You mean secrets right outta the headlines? Like, I heard Tyson and Bass have a love child and they paid Pam to say it was hers. Dang, just kidding!
The truth will be enough.
Damn! I wish I knew who these people are! Takes all the fun out of it. If it were real people it would mean something.
Isn’t it great that all you have to do is accuse someone of something sexual and all reason and common sense goes out the window?
As if sexual harassment shouldn’t be complained about to avoid someone calling it unreasonable.
All the crap thrown at some people before and after the suit was filed is proof enough that this city has a very ugly underbelly. It has gone on unexposed for a long time. Perhaps some of it will soon see the light of day.
h, time to put away the santa hat. let’s see a valentine heart
I just want to say, Tawnie deserves every single cent she might derive from the city….that they allowed to happen to her is punative and should not be allowed. If it ever happens to anyone else, I will stand tall and battle the battle. In the meantime, I still have to work here. And unfortunately, cannot lose my job. Sucks, does it not? I wish I could speak up,
The hat is long gone. Try removing your cookies.
yeah… have a little heart
Cheap shot, that’s not what I meant.
Santa always loved the cookies at our house.
High Finance, you are a blatant liar. There is no Santa Claus.
that shows blatant bias too, I lost my cookies a long time ago!
Anonymous 7.18am;
He must have skipped over your house because you are a bad boy.
Bookkeeper:
The time to “stand tall and battle the battle” is now. There never may be another chance to stop what you know is going on.
Contact Tawnie’s lawyer, Alan Goldberg. His number is (707), 268-3898.
It’s the right to do. And you know Tawnie would speak out for you if the situation were reversed.
Of course, I meant it’s the right THING to do.
The deposition is open to the public. It can be veiled in secrecy if such a thing is requested with the proper paperwork. One has to assume that was not done in this case. Thad is da man. Don’t let the city push you around. Demand they follow public access laws.
