Scott Peters Retirement Quotations

But I didn't ask the retirement board to sue us either, ... The retirement board has said they want to know the answer to the question of whether those benefits are legal. Both mayoral candidates say they want to know the answer to that question as well. We determined that the only way to get that question behind us is to get a court to decide.

The City Council does not agree that Aguirre can be the attorney for the retirement system but the City Council is willing to let the retirement board and city attorney duke it out over these two issues,

We still have a great need to cooperate with the retirement system and cooperate with investigators,

No one has signed on to his view that the benefits are illegal. He has been authorized to make that argument in his own name but not on behalf of the City Council or the City of San Diego, ... I would never have voted to authorize him to litigate this illegality issue if the retirement board hadn't brought it up.
