Way files suit over Perot campaign in Maryland court
Former Burkittsville mayor Larry Way, once a Perot organizer, sues the Perot Maryland campaign alleging mistreatment and seeks relief in federal court.

The review notes Way faced opposition from large political groups and has appealed, though the outcome remains doubtful as the 1992 election fallout lingers.
