"The suit is the latest chapter in a bitter dispute over the redevelopment of a tract of land. The city's leaders are split over the choice of a company to handle the project... The suit alleges that these defendants defamed the character and reputation of Deinbo and McClendon with false accusations of bribery and corruption. The suit seeks $1.6 million in damages."
