City budget documents repeatedly claimed that work as 'accomplishments' when it hadn't been completed, the proposed class-action case alleges
A new lawsuit accuses San Diego city officials of wrongly claiming in years of budget documents that they had completed flood-control work in the Chollas Creek neighborhoods that would later be badly damaged when it flooded in January. The latest litigation stemming from the sudden winter flooding also accuses San Diego officials of diverting more than $15 million from such projects in order to pay off the lease for the uninhabitable high-rise at 101 Ash St.
Aguirre said the class-action case could eventually be consolidated with other lawsuits making similar claims. “We’re doing what we can to unite all the lawyers at the table and resolve the issues as a class,” he said. “This creates a forum to do that.” He said he wants to see victims compensated for their losses and the city do a better job maintaining the flood-control channels developed to manage the Chollas Creek runoff. “We have to do both,” Aguirre said.
