Now, let’s see if I understand this. Councilman Scott Peters, a soon-to-be termed out member of our City Council now wants to run for city attorney.
Mr. Peters, a well-trained, qualified and licensed as a California attorney, has blamed improper legal advice from a prior city attorney, Casey Gwinn, as the reason why he voted to approve illegal pension benefits to city employees, himself included, and also phony data to the Security Exchange Commission regarding the financial condition of the city.
So, if attorney Peters could not tell the difference between proper legal advice and improper legal advice, why should the taxpayers of our city trust him to give proper legal advice to the City Council?
