The case of Manalapan vs. Moskovitz has degenerated from a farce to the surreal (“Manalapan Case Draws Google Into the Mix,” News Transcript, Nov. 28, 2007).
The case started as a thinly disguised attack on a political opponent of the current incumbents of the Manalapan Township Committee and now we find the township on the wrong side of the Internet free speech debate in a legal battle with a multibillion-dollar corporation.
Are the taxpayers going to be asked to fund a legal battle with Google and the Electronic Frontier Foundation of San Francisco that could take years? Doesn’t the Township Committee have better ways to spend our money?
Does the Township Committee have the integrity and common sense to put an end to this nonsense?
