A California Democrat mayor is suing her own city for more than $7 million alleging race and age discrimination – but still wants to be reelected.
Deborah Robertson, who is black, claims the city of Rialto didn’t provide her with a special security door in case of an active shooter, despite giving one to a “white” colleague.
The 73-year-old also says the authorities gave her the wrong kind of pension and failed to arrange ergonomic furniture following a 2019 car crash, and that the city’s police department looked her up on their database without a good crime-fighting reason.
If successful, her three claims, filed last year, would amount to $7,482,000 – or 3.3 per cent of the city’s annual budget – $6 million of which would be in relation to the alleged police snooping.
Ms Robertson, a Democrat, has been mayor of the city, in San Bernardino county, which is 56 miles east of Los Angeles and has a population of 100,000, since 2012.

Compared to John Valdivia in the neighboring city (San Bernarghetto), she is a paragon of ethics in public office. Sadly, Rialto will likely pay her off to the tune of seven figures (though likely not as much as she’s asking for) to avoid the risk of losing even more in legal costs.
I believe she has ticked every racist box she can find. The only people who will pay and make poorer are the citizens she wants supposedly to support her.

The Left sows its seeds of division and hate to get access to the gravy train and when it judges that it isn't getting enough gravy it claims discrimination and abuse to drain the tax-payer dry.

The lack of self awareness and entitlement is beyond comprehension.
