A man of his word…City Attorney Mike Aguirre Friday filed a lawsuit to revoke pension benefits for our former mayor and two convicted ex-councilmen.
“We are focusing on the special benefits that elected officials have voted for themselves in violation of the city charter. We are setting aside any pension benefits where an effort was made to vest those benefits before the individuals worked for 10 years for the city.”
Aguirre urged all current and former elected officials to “voluntarily” give up the “ill-gotten” retirement benefits. “I think all pension benefits that were purchased at a discount should be returned. I think council members should set the example.”
