Clark County Councilor David Madore has been served.
Through a process server, Vancouver attorney Greg Ferguson delivered the Republican councilor a subpoena Tuesday demanding he turn over text messages, billing statements and call logs from his cellphones in connection with Community Planning Director Oliver Orjiako’s lawsuit against the county.
That suit, filed in April, alleges that Clark County failed to adequately respond to public records requests for Madore’s text messages in connection with a whistle-blower and harassment complaint Orjiako filed earlier this year.
Ferguson requested all text messages to and from Madore since he took office in 2013, and requested all follow-up communication regarding his request. Madore turned over 20 conversations, but Ferguson believes there are more. Futhermore, in a request for admission by Ferguson provided to The Columbian, Madore denied having conversations with a number of public officials and constituents.
“The only text messages that he provided were the ones that made him look like a champion of the people,” Ferguson said in April.
