SAN DIEGO – The San Diego County Board of Supervisors will meet Tuesday to discuss a resolution calling for the immediate resignation of Supervisor Nathan Fletcher, before his scheduled resignation date of May 15.
Fletcher was one of the most powerful men in the county when he announced on March 26 that he was entering a treatment center outside the state for post-traumatic stress, trauma and alcohol abuse, and abandoned a planned run for state Senate. “I urge Mr. Fletcher to resign as soon as his treatment allows him to,” Elo-Rivera said. “Doing so is an important step toward his taking responsibility for his unacceptable conduct and allowing the community to receive the representation it deserves.”
“Also, given these circumstances, the search for a new Chief Administrative Officer should be restarted without input from Mr. Fletcher,” he said. “This is an important decision for the future of San Diego County, and he should not have any input in future decision-making.” The complaint alleges Figueroa “was intimidated by the dynamic Fletcher had created” and says she “felt pressured to reciprocate Fletcher’s advances because she knew he had authority as both a career-politician and as chair of the MTS Board to destroy her career at MTS and to potentially humiliate her publicly if she made him angry.”
“I’m relieved he is finally getting treatment he needs. Thank you to everyone who has reached out today,” Gonzalez posted on Twitter.
