    Well, well, well. Don’t this just turn your panties inside out!
    For someone who was totally unqualified – my bet is that he took this deal to take as much money as possible from the city. Does anyone want to put money on the
    information that will be made public on 2/4? My bet is very little, if anything, about
    the monetary aspects.

    I was wrong – financial details were divulged. Good riddance and good luck to Mr. Lewis – whom now can enjoy life knowing full-well he made off like a bandit.

    Ty Lewis just joined the Central Valley rip-off squad with Chris Williams. What an accomplishment. Now do us all a favor and go back to Bakersfield.

    They basically bought him out of the remaining contract which is a win for Paso and clearly shows his suit was frivolous with no merit. Worth sending him packing. Good work by CCN who had the receipts and influenced the outcome.
