We have started a fund to help us cover this expense...click here for more information! UPDATE: All current information has now been reported by the DAR. The DAR took 30 days to report about our case reopened, 17 days to report on the dismissal of the ethics charges, and yet only 3 days to report the city was awarded $5k in legal fees.

Feb 15,I've known for several years that the DAR was on the City's side regarding my case against the City. It's been easy to see how the reporting and headlines seemingly favor the City. Last summer, the city filed three motions and the judge denied them all. We walked out of the court very thrilled with our progress. The next day the headline read: Judge Denies Two Motions Becker and City Case You had to flip to the fourth paragraph before you got to the point that it was the City who got their motions denied.
