Residents of San Diego appeared before the San Diego City Council on Tuesday evening to voice their opinions about Mayor Bob Filner's request that the city pay the legal fees for his defense against a sexual harassment suit filed against him by a female city employee.

That is correct.
Filner reminds me of that character, “Mr. Sardonicus” in the movie of the same name. That creepy, toothy smile is too weird.
