San Diego Mayor Bob Filner has agreed to resign as part of a deal reached this week with city officials, NBC 7 News has learned.

Filner, spotted leaving City Hall with packing boxes Wednesday night, will formally vacate the office following a closed session of City Council Friday, according to several sources.

City officials announced just before 7 p.m. Wednesday a proposed solution had been reached in the scandal that has consumed the city of San Diego since it first broke July 10.

5. Oh, so Mayor "Feel'er" is quitting?

Good riddance!

Apparently your two-week therapy program didn't work?

If it were my daughter you got into a headlock and asked to stop wearing underwear to work, you'd soon be getting "up close and personal" with your hemorrhoids!

6. This has been a disaster. First Dem mayor here in SD in memory, a strong progressive, good politics,

but a freak in the end.

Let's not forget Roger Hedgecock, Republican mayor who had to resign in the 80's due to scummy money games and became right wing hate-talk host. San Diego is weird.

7. You know who Roger Hedgehock crossed? For that matter Jack Murphy

And Aguiire? Take a good guess...same crew Filner crossed. He was a good puppet we would not be having a thing.

The first layer of the onion is sexual harassment. It takes nothing from the women to see the second, third and fourth layer.

Look at both the Reader and City Beat...they have mostly done solid reporting on this.

We are digging our teeth into the 2007-8 Sunroad scandal. At least one is in the same cast of characters.
