As I predicted, the ICMA finally capitulated and settled the anti-defamation lawsuit brought forth by Michigan city manager James Freed. As part of the agreement where financial details were not releaed, the ICMA agreed to retract the censure by removing it from their website.

The settlement was announced via a joint statement on ICMA letterhead. However, I have received overwhelmingly negative responses from the city managers in my network regarding the language of that statement.

In this episode, I dissect the statement and compare it to the original press release issued by the ICMA when it announced the public censure of James Freed.

And now that this matter has been resolved to the satisfaction of both parties -- we ponder the logical question that remains:

Now what?
