Richard McKee, a political activist from Huntington Beach, California is suing the The Huntington Beach Marketing and Visitors Bureau and the Huntington Beach Hotel/Motel Business Improvement District because he says the money they spent in their legal battle with Noland’s on the Wharf and Shoreline Surf Shop in Santa Cruz over rights to the term “Surf City USA” may have been a wasted of taxpayer’s money, according to a story in the Orange County Register.
He alleges in the October suit that the groups are public agencies and must respond to his public records requests about a confidential January 2008 settlement concerning the Surf City USA logo. McKee said the settlement documents could prove that a lawsuit between the bureau and a Santa Cruz shop owner was not necessary because the moniker used before and after the suit is almost identical.
McKee says the public has the right to know.
