San Diego Board of Supervisors in Turmoil Over Nathan Fletcher's Resignation

The San Diego County Board of Supervisors will hold an emergency meeting to vote on a resolution of no confidence for Nathan Fletcher, who has been accused of sexual assault and harassment in a lawsuit by a former Metropolitan Transit System employee. The resolution would be a symbolic measure to pressure Fletcher to step down as soon as possible. Fletcher announced his resignation last month, effective at the end of his medical leave on May 15. If he were to step down following the vote, the vacancy in the fourth district supervisorial seat could either be filled by a Board of Supervisors appointment or through a special election.
