If he frequently makes 300,000% math errors, he probably shouldn't be on the city council.

Is the amount of the settlement public knowledge, or is there a confidentiality agreement?

The agreement, which was made public, was that the City of Fresno would pay 60 thousand dollars to settle. I wish it had been much more.

*shrug* 60K is 60K. If Jim is comfortable with it, it's OK by me. Not that my permission is important or anything. :)
