CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The 86-year-old, nonpartisan, government watchdog group Better Government Association (“BGA”) filed suit late Monday in Federal Court against a newly formed partisan political organization based in Akron, Ohio and calling itself by the exact same name (“New BGA”).
The lawsuit, Better Government Association, Inc. vs. Better Government Association (Case #1:09-cv-4686) seeks a Temporary Restraining Order and Preliminary Injunction to prevent New BGA from continuing to use the name Better Government Association and BGA.
Litigation lawyer Chicago further seeks an immediate halt of any planned advertising or other publicity efforts as long as it operates under the BGA name.
The Chicago-based Better Government Association was formed in 1923 in response to Al Capone’s control of the City of Chicago government and has been operating as an independent nonpartisan watchdog organization continuously since that time under the trade names Better Government Association and BGA. Its website (www.bettergov.org) has been operating since 1999.
