Teenager Wins Email Suit Against City of Kokomo

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the when-to-hold-and-when-to-fold dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Recently, a 16 year old sued the city of Kokomo, Indiana for access to an email list that he suspected the mayor was mis-using for political purposes. Despite the mayor's refusal to give in, the teenager won the case. The city will have to pay not only for the expensive attorneys they hired, but may have to compensate the 16 year old's pro-bono counsel."

    Once you have had one country surrender to you it's all the same.

    I sent a complaint into Barbara Boxers email address and was added to her political email list. No one even read the email because it thanked me for my support. I was complaining of her support of the issue. However since she is a democrat I doubt anyone would call her on this. Democrats are usually given a pass in matters like this.

  3. Dumbass moderators by MaelstromX · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Not that I really care about moderation or need karma, but what a testament to the idiocy of some moderators when my post is modded down -1 redundant while a nearly identical post posted after mine is modded up insightful. Just another reason I read at -1.

    (Special thanks to Tor which allows me to continue posting to Slashdot even after rogue moderation gets me banned.)
