Jonathan Knight, host of HGTV’s Farmhouse Fixer, proud member and advocate of New England’s community, is being sued by New England’s organization “The Trustees”‘s President and CEO John Judge.

Early this morning, Jon wrote to John Judge and The Trustees on twitter, about the lack of transparency with two properties under the same restriction, while one (Jon’s) is being sued for what the other one gets.

Your lack of transparency with two properties under the same restriction has me thinking so many things! Why am I being sued by you, yet the neighbor gets what you are suing me for? @John_Judge @thetrustees Care to comment publicly?
