It's alleged defamation, what if we let everyone who had their feelings hurt during an election campaign sue the mayor at the mayor's expense.
Also, if the City lawyers believed that the case held no water and went to court, wouldn't they be pretty confident that they could be awarded court fee's? Meaning that at the end of the day the City would have a say in how the case was defended.
