I actually am hopeful that Sullivan finds that the District's AG has lied to him in a sworn statement. It is time overdue for Nickles to get a reality check that makes it clear that he is not above the law. Taking political jabs at the District Council through a sworn testimony is inappropriate and disrespectful to judicial time. Much worse, if the statements are blatantly false.

Nickles opened up a box of worms, considering what Mendelson has said is correct, that $400,000 was given as a line item in the 2009 budget for a new management system in the OAG, if it is not in place, where has the money gone? What was it used for? We are at the END of 2009.

I agree with you that hearing should be held. However, as you probably already know, the Council is on recess and therefore hearings can't be scheduled or held until they return. Also, if you look at the history of AG Nickles, he often refuses to allow agency directors and other involved in scandal investigations to testify at Council hearings. What makes us believe he will testify himself or allow others to testify?

Sorry for the sappy post .... too much Aguardiente.

As for Mendo's charges, if he had any backbone, he'd have already scheduled hearings. Again, get the people involved in the open hearings room, put them under oath, & proceed accordingly.

This is simple stuff, Mendo. Get to work, man.
