It doesn't seem to matter whether suit is brought against the city or if the city initiates legal action it isn't clear if the city has ever won. Maybe the losses are just more prominent because of the enormous expense. Maybe they won't need a to float a bond if they quit with these wasteful endeavors.
Their most recent loss (unless in the brief time since they've lost another court case) regards a legit business, doggy daycare, for the fact that, wait for it, dogs bark! Now this might upset local cats (but is too far from the city hosted cat house to bother the ladies) but they were in violation of no ordinance (when did the city start enforcing those?) yet still worked to placate complainers. Then the city took them to court. And lost.
Maybe the Truth Butcher can post the city's win/loss record on the website or D-News. Interesting and entertaining.
