DJ Tambran, Vindicated! And Victimized?
posted (September 25, 2012)
A few weeks ago, you heard DJ Tambran tell us about his woes with the City Council.

Well, since going public, things haven't gotten any better. The standoff with the council only worsened with Tambran still claiming compensation for damaged items - and the council claiming he owns rent and trade license fees.

But, tonight the news is that the deadlock has been broken, not resolved, but broken.

The Council paid of Tambran and evicted him at the same time. He told us that he feels both vindicated and victimized:..

"Today is the day they settled with me. It was clear that the Mayor Darrell Bradley let everybody knows that he will settle with me for the damages but that I can't be here anymore - you got to get out."

"This is totally wrong but I am happy to know that they are compensating me and the court and everything is done but Darrell Bradley and the city council - these people.... I don't know why sometimes we have to live under this type of victimization. It is not worth it, I've been here for 14 years, they are slandering me and my name and look at it now - they are paying me off, they owe me more. They are the ones that owes me and I could have taken it further but you know what I am a business man, I cut my losses and I will move on."

"What impact will this have now in your future going on with your business?"

DJ Tambran
"I am a squirrel; they can't keep me down, not because I am a PUP. My name is bigger than the business. People will come because I give good services."

Mayor Darrell Bradley told us that he decided to pay off Tambran because they had been back and forth in court - and it probably would cost less to just settle it - and be done with it.

He says the fact that they paid him indicates that there was no victimization.
