Fired El Segundo City Manager Doug Willmore is spreading a lot of false information and false accusations to fabricate support for his frivolous lawsuit against the City of El Segundo and against the three City Council members who voted to fire him (he is personally suing each of them).

He is trying to shake down El Segundo as he tried to do to Chevron to pay for wildly excessive and unsustainable firefighter and police union salaries, benefits, and CalPERS pensions. See the following web pages for more information:

Willmore went the the news media and the district attorney with his false accusations, and tried to get a grand jury investigation initiated, to influence the outcome of the April 10, 2012 El Segundo City Council election. If he could get political allies elected as city council members he could get a big “settlement” to his frivolous litigation. That attempt failed. He is not trying to poison the jury pool and put pressure on the City to settle his frivolous lawsuits for a huge payout that he does not deserve.

It appears that Willmore is abusing public funds and resources to for his own financial benefit.

Ironically, Willmore convinced the scandal-ridden city of Bell to hire him as their city manager after he was fired from El Segundo. I suspect the Bell city council members will eventually realize they made a mistake.
