Some Hampton Roads bloggers consider law suit
I was contacted today, by a spokesperson for a group of Hampton Roads Bloggers who are considering legal action against the City of Suffolk and their Communications Manager Ms. Debbie George.
The group is not a formal organization but may join forces against the City of Suffolk and Ms. George in light of the recent decision by Ms. George not to include bloggers in the City’s press release mailing list. The group asked that I not publish who they are as yet.

I hope the group is successful in their law suit.
I hope they are successful as well. I am having the same problem here with local school districts. They won’t consider bloggers press either.
