Five members of council held a press conference Thursday to question whether City Attorney Andy Segovia is fit for the job. Mayoral candidate and council colleague Manny Pelaez called their move 'disappointing.'
"It's time for a change," said Cabello Havrda, who is considering a campaign to become mayor."I like Andy, he's a nice guy. But this is a professional environment, and I need him to do the work that we're asking him to do." Segovia still refused, citing concerns information could leak out from that meeting, compromising the city's ability to negotiate with the union on a new contract.
The memo cites"significant inconsistencies and a demonstrated lack of transparency" in Segovia's legal opinions as reasons for debating his removal.
