So, the original link was under "Local Links"? If that's the case, then there's even less ground for any TM claim than I thought - it makes clear that this is just pointing to links of interest. In a Google-centric world, it makes zero sense to think that failing to link to something hides it, or that a link connotes approval. I link to things all the time that I actively don't agree with or dislike. That's the beauty of the Web. Hi Julie – this is interesting. So, the original link was under “Local Links”?

I agree - they were way out of line about this. The link page is still online and it couldn't be more innocent. On the side bar the links page was even called "Local Links". Nothing more. The City should be honored when someone wants to share City resources. DUH! Guess I'm missing whatever you're missing! lol Great job!!! I agree – they were way out of line about this.
