Pathetic.  
Only Loretta Sheehan demands accountability of public servants for their job performance.  
The rest of the council simply does the Mayor's dirty work to sweep the problems under the rug, pay the violator to leave so he won't file lawsuits he can't win.
How much would his lawsuits against the C&C be worth if he's convicted of a federal felony?  Nothing.
Yet 6 of the Comm members decide to pay him $250,000 to not sue.
In reality, what they are doing is funding his criminal defense against the federal charges.  That's what this is all about.  
My bet would be $200,000 is going to Myles Breiner, and $50,000 will be saved for experts and costs.
But its bad public policy to have a case of misconduct against a high ranking official like a chief and simply walk away from it -- and throw him a quarter of a million dollars to leave.
Sheehan is exactly correct.  There are grounds to terminate him, and its the job of the commission to pursue those grounds -- not make a deal.
