Wither free speech on blogs?
When Oro Valley, AZ resident Art Segal endorsed two candidates for City Council on his blog, he began to hear from city officials that he needed to register as PAC. Is this America?
If we define it as the "home of the red-tape," then I guess the answer is "yes."
According to the Arizona Daily Star, an unnamed citizen registered a complaint with the town clerk, which prompted the town attorney to give Segal, the operator of the Let Oro Valley Excel blog a ring:
Sidles [the interim town attorney] also asked the blogger if he would be willing to add links to the Web sites of the three incumbent candidates, as he had done for challengers Salette Latas and Bill Garner, Segal recalled.
Sidles, now the town prosecutor, said he only asked Segal if he planned on adding the Web links: "It was more of a curiosity question."
Yeah, curiosity.
