There should be a different avenue for resolution. Any time a city or state gets sued and pays out, that is TAXPAYER money, it isn't government money from some inexhaustible, non-taxpayer source. I agree, she should file a lawsuit, but having your neighbors pay for something the city did is not the right way to address this. It is no different than the house of representatives paying out from their "indiscretion" pool to pay out to interns that have had affairs with jackholes in the house.

Having city people bonded/insured and such would make the payout come from them vs the city itself. That way they will be more cautious about making illegal decisions like this, as they would have to deal with the repercussions personally.
