Critic may not mention planning board member’s “name in any ’email, blog, [T]witter or any document”
Part of the supposed "harassment" that form the basis for the order: "[Roland] Van Liew sent several mailings in the past year calling [Colleen] Stansfield corrupt and a liar." During a recall election, "Van Liew again called her a liar and corrupt."
