DALLAS (WBAP/KLIF NEWS) – The mayor of Dallas has retained legal counsel in the wake of a porn expo’s threat of a lawsuit.
Dallas attorney Michael Gruber writes in a statement that such a lawsuit would improperly accuse the Mayor and eight City Council members be held liable for a vote cast in their official capacity as elected officials.
Mayor Mike Rawlings led the effort last month to offer a motion banning the convention from returning to the Dallas city-owned Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center.
According to Gruber, sponsors of Exxxotica made the lawsuit threat as part of a failed attempt to coerce the eight City Council members who voted to ban the expo.
