What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? New york
I am an officer of a small town fire company, we are a non profit corporation that contracts fire protection with our township. Our town supervisor has an ax to grind when it comes to members of the fire company and has been trying everything in her power to close our company down. Our contract is up for renewal and this supervisor is saying that she has been advised by the ****** county sheriffs dept not to sing a contract with my fire company because we are under investagation. She has made this statement at 2 public town meetings and to other fire companies she is trying to get to take our contract. Now I'm a strait forword guy so I went right down to the county sheriffs dept and talked to the sheriff him self and after he did some dancing around the question he stated that he never advised our suporvisor not to sign because of any ongoing investagations. I recorded the whole meeting with the sheriff. We the fire company need to know if its worth trying to pursue a slander suit. Its looking like this false statement is going to cause us our contract and force us to shut down. Now we did under go a state audit that we requested a few months ago, but that's now what she was talking about.What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
