These are councilmembers that have attempted to pass legally binding contracts and Ordinances that have not undergone Legal review.  Contracts and Ordinances with illegal provisions within them.  This is neither smart governance, nor smart personal business practice!  This is not a matter of the Developer trying to get electeds to quit, this is someone finally stepping up to the legal plate to hold these three legally accountable for their illegal actions!  Thank goodness we have Checks and Balances with a Strong Mayor form of government in Black Diamond.
