City Councilwoman to pay $12K to Crescent City

Posted by Evan Mascagni on Dec 15, 2011

City Councilwoman Donna Westfall has been ordered to pay over $12,000 to Crescent City by a U.S. District Court after Crescent City was successfully able to bring an anti-SLAPP motion after it was sued by Westfall.

“Ironically, Westfall’s suit alleged that the city trounced on the First Amendment when fellow council members censured her for an ethics violation after she claimed corruption in connection with the expansion of the wastewater treatment plant.”
