| Lawyer: San Diego mayor in settlement talks |
| 2013-08-20 |
| [MYFOXDETROIT] An attorney for a woman suing San Diego's embattled mayor for sexual harassment says the two sides are in settlement talks. Lawyer Gloria Allred, who represents Mayor Bob Filner's former communications director, said Monday that a retired federal judge is mediating negotiations. Allred says the talks are ongoing and she can't comment further. It isn't known if Filner is present. Filner faces a recall effort prompted by a cascade of sexual harassment allegations that led to calls by the City Council to resign. Filner has been out of the public's eye for the past two weeks while undergoing therapy. He was spotted Monday entering an office building followed by Allred. |

| #4 And so we see that it's all about the money. That's how Gloria was able to coax all these women out of the woodwork. Proving in a court of law that he broke the law or actually harmed anyone is one thing. Getting him to pay money to avoid an expensive, prolonged, embarrassing lawsuit is gonna be far easier. Either way you can bet that Gloria will get her cut. Mind you, none of this is intended to imply that Filner doesn't deserve it. It's red on Allred as far as I'm concerned. Definitely popcorn worthy. Now if we could just get old Bob to hit on Gloria...who knows? She might go for it. |

| #1 Talks consist of, "You quit and we don't sue." Filner "I don't wanna". OK SUE. (And run you out of office) |
