Attempted Whitewashing

Former Dalton "mayor" Henyard is trying to refurbish her tainted legacy:

• Before we get started, the answer is and always will be “NO.”

  We have received these from others in the past and have never removed an article based on any of these “compliance notices” or take-down demands – whether they were sent to us by attorneys or “image” companies like this one is.

  Our publications speak for themselves and have never been successfully challenged in any court of law.

  Tiffany Henyard, the former Mayor of Dolton, Illinois, is apparently attempting to clean up her “image” or what is left of it after her disastrous term as mayor ended.

  Today, we received an email from the “Compliance Dept” with the subject line of “Removal Request (First Request) Respectfully.”

  My mind immediately said “NO” prior to even opening the email to read it.

  Below is the entire text of this “request” from the “Cyber Investigation Unit” of a company called “Business Image Lift.”

The letter was sent to a smaller media site - Illinois Leaks - in a rather blatant attempt to bully them into removing articles telling the truth about Henyard's disastrous reign. If the publicity firm could get them to remove things, then they can use that as a larger stick against other sites. 

Illinois Leaks told them to pound sand.

We got something similar years ago - from actual lawyers - following the Midway crash of Southwest Flight 1248. We told them something similar and never heard back.
