The project, called For All of Us, collected money at the mayor’s behest from companies that have business interests before the city.The position of elected city attorney was created in 1931, when San Diego voters decided the community’s chief legal adviser should be chosen by the people.
Under the proposal, which Quient and Cabrera called a “modest change that is in line with best practices nationwide,” voters would be asked to retain a city attorney who would be in charge of prosecuting misdemeanor crimes like drunk-driving and vandalism. Among other problems, the analysis said the restructuring would deprive voters of a key city watchdog and independent voice. Having a lawyer who answers to the council would dilute the mayor’s authority and could present possible conflicts of interest, Elliott concluded.
But “when used for policy, the normally ministerial function of confirming legality becomes a veto pen that cannot be overturned by the policymakers.” “Proponents argue this measure would ‘increase the mayor and council’s accountability’ and ‘improve transparency,’” Luna said. “The only correct thing in that analysis is the proper use of the article ‘the.’ The rest is what the president would call pure malarkey.”
