Local firms sue billboard giant

By DAN MARGOLIES The Kansas City Star

Three local billboard operators have filed a civil racketeering suit against the world's largest billboard firm, accusing it of stealing desirable locations found by the plaintiffs for itself.

Craig Outdoor Advertising Inc., Midwest Outdoor Media LLC and Curtis Massood say Viacom Outdoor Inc. erected its own billboards on sites that were identified by the plaintiffs and should have been leased to them.

The 43-page lawsuit, filed in federal court in Kansas City, charges top Viacom Outdoor officials with attempted bribery and witness intimidation, and seeks unspecified actual and punitive damages under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act.

Attempts to obtain comments on Tuesday from officials of Viacom Outdoor, which is based in Phoenix, were unsuccessful.

The suit names as defendants, in addition to Viacom Outdoor, its chairman and chief executive, Wally Kelly; its Atlanta-based director of real estate/acquisitions, Randall F. Romig; its former Kansas City office manager, Randy Jackson of Houston; and its New York-based senior vice president of land lease, Harold Gustin.

Gee, and they seemed like such nice young men! :evilgrin:
