Greetings, friends, and I hope this post finds you well.
So I came across a FB post yesterday in which the poster was complaining about Fleeta Baggett - who uses her personal page on FB in her capacity as Mayor of Covington, GA - deleting posts & blocking multiple people (for no legitimate, legal reason) that she doesn't like.
I commented on this post w/ the following:
I've been blocked by Fleeta for years.
Two different attorneys have confirmed she's in violation since she does often use her personal page in her role as Mayor.
I've had multiple folks tell me I should pursue it but it just hasn't been high on my priority list.
But things change. I think I will pursue it. At a minimum it'll piss her off.
Madam Mayor Fleeta
I'm very much ready now to pursue this. The law's the law & Fleeta has been openly flaunting it for years, proudly, in fact, to anyone who will listen to her.
I'm about to send an email to Sister Mayor, the City Clerk & City Attorney of Covington, as well as CC'ing all six members of the Covington Council (I'll also BCC several including some you maybe reading this) giving notice of my intent to pursue this.
After all, as some of you know, I am a Cause Guy (whether Célèbre or Du Jour).
Looking forward to it. I think I need this. I'll keep y'all posted.
Here's to the road ahead!
