Pollen's legacy -- grief to Shorewood officials, expense to taxpayers, all to defend corrupt out-of-state officials who abused a local resident

Imagine if Village Attorney Pollen hadn't defended Cookeville, TN. government officials who hacked a Shorewood-based Web site critical of their incompetence
