“A federal judge is threatening “significant monetary sanctions” against the city of Chico and a city councilman for discussing details of settlement talks related to homeless encampments.
An order issued Monday by U.S. Magistrate Judge Kendall Newman suggests Councilman Sean Morgan ran afoul of the court’s rules in his appearance on a local KPAY radio program.”
Sean Morgan just can’t stop costing the city money. The city only recently settled the lawsuit resulting from him having a constituent dragged from a council meeting and jailed.
We simply cannot afford this council for another year. Perhaps even worse was the tenor of Sean’s comments. In the wake of an apparent murder-for-sport of a homeless man living at Teichert Pond, Sean went on the radio to spread misinformation and fuel rage at the homeless in our community, saying that the homeless plaintiffs (whose civil rights were violated by the city) were holding the city hostage. The radio host took it a step further, calling the lawsuit terrorism and the plaintiffs terrorists.
