I’m happy to announce that I have entered my appearance to represent Alan Hoffman and the Sunshine and Government Accountability Project in the recently filed lawsuit against The City of St. Louis and various City Officials. This is a lawsuit based on Missouri’s Sunshine Law, seeking injunctive and declaratory relief against St. Louis City officials and their agents for their failures to be transparent about efforts to privatize Lambert St. Louis Airport.

This is an especially good opportunity for me, in that I have the privilege of representing Alan Hoffman, a highly principled man who is willing to go toe-to-toe against the well-monied and politically powerful defendants. Equally exciting, I will be working as co-counsel with Mark Pedroli. Mark is unrelenting, smart and focused, and has an outstanding track record enforcing Missouri’s Sunshine Laws.

In order to better coordinate the exchange of information in this case, I worked over this weekend to design a website to track this litigation: “Lambert Airport Sunshine Law Litigation.” We will be updating this website with news, court filings and key documents. You are invited to check out this brand new website.

Finally, I’d like to offer a shout out to Gerry Connolly, Cara Spencer, the folks behind “STL Not For Sale” and many unnamed dedicated people who have been serving as eyes, ears and brains to document the disturbing conduct of the St. Louis City “Working Group,” whose activities are the focus of this litigation.
