The City Council has become an unaccountable body, and the only solution is to ditch the incumbents. We'd have thrown out the mayor in the last election, except for the illegal write-in candidacy of Donna Frye which split the anti-Murphy vote. The cozy arrangement where the former City Attorney and present Registrar said it was ok is another glaring example of the extent we need to clean house. I expect one or more recall elections soon, and we'll be rid of some of these highbinders when they're thrown in prison due to their complicity in the crimes for which there are no less than 3 separate investigations underway. The trick is going to be finding replacements who aren't just clones of these scuzzballs. I'm not sure whether City Attorney Mike Aguirre will be a net plus or minus in all this, but the noise and stir he's making makes me want to cheer him on, even though he's a litigious, inflated, egomaniacal blowhard. It says a lot that, compared to the City Council, he looks like the good guy.
Well, I agree with you on that. But something tells me nothing will happen to these crooks. They should be in jail for what they've done.
Indeed. What's truly pathetic is how many ran unopposed in the primary and didn't even have to runoff. It's just like when the bombshell came that they didn't bother reading the Charger deal. That city council was reelected almost by acclimation.
I'm still aghast at the shenanigans with Frye's candidacy in order to knock off the only legal opponent, Ron Roberts.
