Bob Filner’s demise is turning out to be more interesting
than most reality shows. After 14 women have now come forward describing that Bob Filner
has sexually harassed them, the call for San Diego’s Mayor Bob Filner to resign
is getting about as loud as it can. Will the 70-year-old San Diego get the
message?
Bob Filner was supposed to enter rehab on Aug. 5, 2013, as
he publicly announced and return to work as San Diego’s mayor on Aug. 19, 2013,
but – surprise, surprise – on Aug. 9, 2013, Bob Filner is already done with his
rehab.
Allegedly, Bob Filner had entered rehab a week earlier and
already completed his rehab. Just like in his public statement in which he apologized
for his inappropriate behavior towards women, Bob Filner is once again changing
his public statement.
Mayor Bob Filner is taking personal time next week and
according to a statement from the office of attorney, James L. Payne of Los
Angeles, he will continue therapy sessions on an outpatient basis.
City Attorney Jan Goldsmith confirmed that the locks were
changed at the 11th-floor City Hall office of the mayor.
Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif., sent an open letter Friday
calling for Bob Filner to resign and seek treatment as a private citizen. "But
now I must say this directly to you: Bob, you must resign because you have
betrayed the trust of the women you have victimized, the San Diegans you
represent and the people you have worked with throughout your decades in public
life."
San Diego’s 10 News reported on Friday night that a “You’re
not welcome back” party is planned for next week.
