Mary Cummins Lawsuit Was the Reason Boks Was Fired

From the same reliable, close to Council source that told me the mayor is not going to hire a new GM anytime soon, I found out the reason Ed Boks was fired was Mary Cummins' harassment lawsuit.

Certain Councilmembers told the city attorney they wouldn't approve any settlement if Boks still had a job. Villaraigosa met with go betweens and one other and then told Boks to resign.

Blackman got hold of a lot of the emails from the lawsuit in February 2007 that showed exactly what Boks said and did.

Imaginbe that, we have been fighting Boks for years on substantive issues like perfomance, lying about statistics, policies, performance, turning away animals, his firing and lawsuits in New York, and it takes a sexual and personnel lawsuit involving money before our mayor does anything.
