February 27th. That’s when I first mentioned meeting with Craig Hunter with Gary Glass present. Not long afterwards Dr. Dixon’s Red Plan cheerleader Paul Goosens began harping publicly about Gary Glass’s meeting an attorney with Let Duluth Vote representatives. So the District has known that Gary was communicating with attorneys for five months. Tim Grover knew six months earlier that Gary was interested in legally challenging the District but today, a week or two before the District might finally be ordered to provide the public data, the District’s attorney’s are “shocked,” “shocked,” to discover that Gary Glass has spoken to attorneys about being denied public data requested by both Gary and Let Duluth Vote. They want the taxpayer’s case dismissed.
Mind you. The District’s attorneys have never communicated or met with Gary and passed on privileged information but they are now telling the Court that Gary’s communications with the taxpayer’s attorney should get the case thrown out of court and Gary thrown off the school board. That’s called trying to get two for the price of one. One in this case being attorneys who are charging $250,000 to kill the suit on any technicality they can find.
The District has known about Gary’s meeting with attorneys for five months. If Gary’s right to speak to an attorney were doubtful why didn’t someone caution him that as an elected official his constitutional rights were now limited? Maybe they were just hoping that by denying him good advice just as they denied him honest information they could use it against him.
