COMMENTARY

City attorney responds to column's accusations

On Sept. 15, I reported to the East Lansing City Council on a favorable outcome in the case of Phil Bellfy v. East Lansing Historic District Commission. I recently read a guest column published in The State News, City misrepresents outcome of lawsuit (SN 10/5), wherein Mr. Bellfy claims I misrepresented the outcome of this lawsuit in my report to council, misinterpreted the decision and simply lied to City Council in my report. That accusation is absolutely false and I would like to set the record straight.
