On Friday, San Diego's Mayor Bob Filner resigned after the San Diego City Council approved a settlement agreement with Mayor Bob Filner in a 7-0 vote following a 90-minute closed-door meeting.
“As part of that deal, the city will provide a joint legal defense with the mayor of claims against him by city employees, volunteers or contractors, but the city reserves the right to seek reimbursement for any damages it suffers. Filner also will be permitted to hire his own lawyer, with the city capping expenses for outside counsel at $98,000, according to the city attorney.”
