In reply to MattS. Contest every single bill. Make every bill a 1983 claim. And file bar complaints with every inaccurate bill.

In reply to SPO. It won't matter how many complaints are filed if the state bar sides with Silver & Wright on the legal issues.

Re: Silver & Wright, the state bar authorities should be notified. File enough complaints–put Silver & Wright out of business.

Sounds like City Hall wants to pay the big music bands out of the astounding prosecution fees which end up for the property owners to be similar to civil asset forfeiture under a different name/method. I side with the property owners, this shouldn’t happen to them because of big named entertainers.
