While the payout is good for him there will probably be no repercussions for the Mayor who fucked up. He should be fired and lose his pension for causing the city to be liable for this type of issue.

Exactly. I am tired of lawsuits being paid by our taxes.

Most 42 usc 1983 claims are made against individuals in their individual capacity.
The laws should be changed to eliminate the ability of a public agency to cover these individual judgments.
Of course, that would also mean that plaintiffs would not get $$$ in most cases.
There's your choice.

He already got voted out, and thanks to his involvement in an airport real estate scam, his political career is finished. Good news, too. Hillary was grooming him for higher office.

The nigger mayor who fired the nigger fire captain is no longer the mayor. The nigger mayor has been replaced by a niggress.
