"On March 31, an attorney representing the Edgar County Watchdogs, as well as ECW cofounder Kirk Allen and government transparency and reform advocate Adam Andrzejewski, asked DuPage County Judge Bryan S. Chapman for permission to file a motion for partial summary judgment to end a big part of a lawsuit waged by plaintiff Carla Burkhart and her company, Herricane Graphics Inc.
In that filing, the Watchdogs and other defendants assert Burkhart improperly targeted them in the lawsuit for reporting the part she allegedly played in an alleged public scandal involving the alleged misuse of millions of dollars in public money.
And her alleged part in the alleged scandal makes her a "limited public figure," fairly subject under the First Amendment's press protections to potentially unflattering news coverage for her alleged actions, the Watchdogs said.
The Watchdogs and related defendants are represented by attorney Robert Dawidiuk, of The Collins Law Firm, of Naperville."
