Anyone else notice a bit of a puzzle in this statement:
“Feldman is monitoring the case, he said, but had not seen the subpoena written by outside counsel working pro-bono for the city until this week. “

They used an outside attorney and one who was working pro-bono??? Why was an outside attorney working for free to make a subpoena for the city. Maybe someone who actually works for a gay-rights organization which offered their services to achieve their own aims.

Ok freepers, I think this might be worth checking out—who prepared the subpoena and why weren’t they paid???

The lawyers did pro bono in order to secute work on future bond issues. The bond issues are quite lucrative for a lawfirm.

And who was reviewing the work of outside counsel if the City Attorney in charge is not doing it?

He is "monitoring the case" but not reviewing the documents being filed on behalf of the city by an unpaid outside party!
