I have met with the new DA, members of City Council, business and community leaders to fully analyze the financial impact of the Federal judgment against the District Attorney's Office and to evaluate the steps needed to avoid a disruption in our criminal justice system.Is any one talking to the plaintiffs’ attorneys?

There's going to be a bigger problem when the assistant district attorneys don't get a pay check in a couple of weeks. They've only been guaranteed a salary from the city through the 15th. Say what you will about Jordan, there are a lot of hard working people in that office.
I just knew that after Jordan resigned this settlement would get paid really quick. This is starting to look really stupid.
The story I've heard is Nagin stabbed the plaintiffs in the back with his budget. He made a promise that a partial payment of the DA's debt would be included on the next budget. When it was released (sans payment), the plaintiffs took action and froze the accounts.
So I've heard, at least...
