Advertising company sues The City of Weston
CLARKSBURG — An advertising company is suing The City of Weston, a municipal corporation, citing alleged tortious contractual interference.
Lamar Outdoor Advertising filed a complaint on June 23, in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of West Virginia Clarksburg Division against The City of Weston alleging that the municipal corporation violated the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.
According to the complaint, the plaintiff alleges that, plaintiff suffered monetary damages due to loss of revenue.

The plaintiff requests a trial by jury and seeks an order to repeal the City's Ordinance that restricts freedom of speech, award for damages, attorney's fees, costs and such other relief deemed appropriate. It is represented by Robert L. Greer and Jenna L. Robey of Greer Law Offices PLLC in Clarksburg.
