Filner's attorney asks City Council to pay mayor's legal bills

Source: LA Times

SAN DIEGO — Mayor Bob Filner's attorney asked that the City Council pay his legal bills as he fights allegations of sexual harassment.

The request came to the San Diego city attorney on Monday and will be considered in closed session by the council on Tuesday.

Seven of the nine council members have urged Filner to resign. Several have said that the city should not be forced to pay his legal fees because his alleged misconduct was not part of his official duties.

In the past, the city has paid several million dollars in legal fees for city officials in scandals involving illegal campaign contributions and the city's pension deficit.

They probably have to pay while their county citizens get shafted again. No wonder many states are going broke.

City Council Members should be sued aswell, they let the Mayor go on grabbing ass for many years and did nothing.

that playing grab ass is a part of his duties as mayor. "Not one that I relish, but it a necessary part of the job that I do for the benefit of the hard working people of this fine city. As mayor, I promise I will wink at young office assistants and point to my junk."
