It's amusing that Pat O'Toole only prosecuted one slam dunk ethics
case against Young's chief-of-staff when he briefly had a similar
position at the city. It's also amusing that Bonnie Dumanis refused
to prosecute Madaffer for his role at San Diego Data Processing
including misuse of a SDDP credit card to buy several items for
personal use including computer games.

At least it would be amusing if it wasn't so outrageous. Cheryl Cox
must be delighted with Bonnie!
