The TRO sought by the City of Richmond to shut me up has now been passed to a higher court. The City’s high dollar hired gun attorney was served with the notice below. The City of Richmond continues to spend tens of thousands of dollars in their obsession to control what I say and do. It’s not going to work, and the taxpayers are paying for it. Is that what the people of Richmond want, or would they rather have the City services they pay taxes for?
