6. A question?

Is Filner sufficiently wealthy and able to afford both a proper defense of all these sexual harassment claims and payment of any damages if found liable?

I recall an earlier story where he wanted the city to defend, and maybe even indemnify, him for the claims. As we are up to claim no. 11, his potential damages could easily be in the 7-8 figure range, without legal fees.

As to the change of venue for the lawsuits, it is definitely an appropriate motion, even though I would welcome him being judged by the very electorate he has so badly disappointed.
