"Once it becomes clear that shaming or guilt for his behavior towards women won’t unseat the Mayor, the campaign to undermine him will be forced to revert to the game already in progress when this issue arose. Increasingly desperate political opponents (as differentiated from his legal opposition-i.e., the women involved) will mount a campaign to further besmirch his official presence. The currently popular (and sad) story of local tourism employees being given the boot qualifies as exhibit A. Lost in the din of cries at the Filner administration are the questions raised by the City Attorney about the legality of the “fee” system at the root of the Tourism Authority’s funding crisis. Never mentioned in any of the UT-San Diego coverage was the possibility that taxpayers would be forced to cough up tens of millions should pending litigation not go the city’s way. Or that the publisher of their newspaper is one of the hoteliers who is refusing to sign off on an agreement protecting taxpayers. I guess laying off librarians and life guards due to lack of funding is more acceptable than laying off press agents and marketers to the hospitality industry."
