86-Year-Old Chicago Association Files Suit Against New Partisan Organization Using Same Name

New BGA formed just this year and announced its intention to launch a national ad campaign on Monday, July 27. Its first ad ran on a full page on July 31st in USA Today.

“Our reputation as a nonpartisan organization is critical to our mission and so it is extremely troubling that we have already received emails, phone calls and attempted donations from people who have confused us with the very partisan Akron group,” said Dave Lundy, President of the BGA Board of Directors. “And yet that confusion is unavoidable given that they chose to use the exact same names. That is why we have filed suit.”

The litigation lawyer Chicago is committed to fighting waste, corruption and inefficiency in government. The organization applies investigative journalism techniques, litigation, and public policy studies to expose problems, inform citizens about the operations of their government and lay the groundwork for substantive legislative and administrative reforms.

BGA has earned a national reputation for its investigations and its media partners have won two Pulitzer Prizes and other national and local awards for their work with the BGA. BGA has given numerous awards to national news figures and news organizations including those in Ohio.
