Also, I see the Department of Inspections' decision as an unprecedented precedent and a blatant attempt to pressure us out of politics. But it won't work, because we aren't afraid of anyone, not even them or their fines. They won't destroy us; America isn't, and never will be, anyone's playground.
At today's press conference, I laid out the timeline regarding the water and hydrant line work near the Rose Bowl area. I showed documentation proving that I am not responsible for the issue that led the Department of Inspections to fine me $15,000.
I'm calling on the Department of Inspections and the Building Inspection Department to urgently overturn this decision. If they don't, no mayor will be able to take office knowing they could be fined for mistakes made by predecessors that weren't even their fault. I’m also asking them to disclose how many similar fines have been issued and how many officials had to pay them out of their own pockets instead of using city or county budgets.

I guess this really will be a unique precedent, though I think it could easily be overturned in court, which will probably happen.
The Republican Party knows exactly what they are doing.
This penalty is just something they'll dangle over everyone's heads until the election.
They know the court will strike it down, but the ruling won't come until after the polls close; by then, those corrupt hacks won't care about the consequences.
They are playing an all-or-nothing game in Washington, D.C. and San Francisco.
