Have Adina Flores and Laura Ainsworth uncovered news that should be investigated further or will Boys and Girls Club of Sonoma Valley prevail? Hard to tell at this juncture.
I have written about Flores previously. Read those posts. The City of Eureka and City Councilmembers are familiar with her. You can google her; if you wish.
Just because something is online does not make it fact. However, I have had my own experiences with Flores and I have also independently researched court records about her as well as the other people involved in the lawsuit that prompted this post.
After my own experience with Flores, I have no reason to be fair to her but I am and will be and keep an open mind as this lawsuit proceeds through the court system.
The City of Eureka has their own records and experiences with Flores. Other media and citizens are free to file their own PRAs and do their own research.
I was sent a 15 page copy of a lawsuit filed by Cary Snowden, Michael Irvine, Dawn Holman and Boys and Girls Club of Sonoma Valley against Adina Flores and Laura Ainsworth.
Since this tip was not sent to me by parties in the lawsuit, I sent a follow up email for more information. I have not heard back. I get tips from readers and citizens who appreciate my investigative, independent reporting. It is important for me to determine whether the tip is from someone who appreciates the work I do or if there is a motive behind the tip.
What was sent to me is not a filed copy. I could not find it in the Sonoma County Case portal. The tip was sent to me on December 18. I checked the Sonoma County case search multiple times before doing this post today.
I did find other cases for Flores and another unrelated case filed by an unrelated party against Boys and Girls Club of Sonoma Valley. There is history between some of the parties in this latest lawsuit and a previous lawsuit.
The latest lawsuit and the copy sent to me is from one party and their side. I am sure Flores and Ainsworth will file a response but it is unclear if this case has been even filed and whether they have been served.
Not only is this another very time consuming post, it is in another County and it is a typical drama filled lawsuit on both sides. If you read my recent post on "Newsworthy", I am getting deja vu; again.
If Flores or anyone starts harassing me again, I am the one who has to deal with those consequences and more waste of my time.
If I do any follow up on this case depends on a lot of factors. The most important criteria being if this is valid news that I have time for or just one of the many court cases that is just real life drama aired out in public.
Clearly, there is a need for the reporting I do. The same people who send me tips and want me to do time consuming journalism and take risks need to start being equally generous with funding the work they say they value and appreciate.
