Hermosa Beach City Attorney Michael Jenkins Took $150,000 For A Jury Trial That Didn't Happen

Why did Former Hermosa Beach City Manager Steve Burrell and City Attorney Michael Jenkins get $150,000 for a Jury Trial that never happened? The case never went to a jury trial (scheduled to begin April 2012) and was settled just a few weeks later after this public meeting happened in mid Feburary.  Listen to Michael Jenkins explain his rationale for requesting it after he made millions of dollars for his law firm accomplishing nothing to defend Hermosa Beach residents.

The facts are the City never wanted to terminate the idea of oil drilling forever because they are desperate for money and Michael Jenkins was the "ring leader" who continue to perpetuate the possibility of drilling.  E&B came into the picture and bamboozled the other reluctant City Council members to go along with the stupid idea of holding a $17.5M extortion vote to let the "people decide".

These are the issues that the residents of Hermosa Beach deserve to know and should be entitled to a public meeting to discuss. If you care to dispute these facts please state your reasons below.
