City of Claremont "Demand to Terminate Hosting" Letter Posted

Sometime this afternoon the Inland Valley Daily Bulletin posted copies of the letter from Claremont City Attorney Sonia Carvalho to Google, dated September 7, 2007, demanding that Google "...terminate the hosting service for this blog [The Claremont Insider]..."

In the penultimate paragraph, she demands, "If the blog is not taken off line by 5:00 p.m. Pacific Daylight Time today [September 7, 2007] we will seek an injunction in Los Angeles County Superior Court on Monday, September 10, 2007 to compel the removal of the confidential personnel information from the blog and any other website hosted or controlled by Google."

Here is a link to the Bulletin article, with images of the letter.
