The city manager of the City of Coweta is refusing to even contact unnamed threat actors and says the city will not pay any ransom in response to a recent ransomware attack.
Why? Because the city manager was with another city that was attacked; even though that city paid the ransom, it was reinfected two weeks later. So now she is very anti-paying.

And as I previously reported on this incident, the city has an offsite backup they say they can use to restore all city files after they clean the servers of ransomware.
Good for her and the city.
