"Rosen's 'failure to uphold (his) duties will continue to waste public funds and cause the taxpayers of Santa Clara County to suffer irreparable injury,' the lawsuit said."
"Rosen has fired Chung twice, but the firings were reversed both times. Chung has sued Rosen three times and is running against him in the June election."
"'Will people get hurt? Will they be killed? Will criminals go free? I don't know,' he said, referring to the potential impact of budget cuts on public safety."
"'Defendants would rather let Chung - a highly educated, highly qualified attorney - sit at home to prove their point: Don't cross Rosen,' said the lawsuit."
A Santa Clara County taxpayer has filed a lawsuit against District Attorney Jeff Rosen for allegedly wasting public funds by paying Deputy District Attorney Daniel Chung to stay home. Despite severe budget cuts and a $470 million deficit, Rosen continues to pay Chung $8,525 biweekly while facing criticism for his management. The lawsuit argues that Rosen's actions are detrimental to taxpayers and public safety. Chung has been fired twice by Rosen, but both firings were reversed, and he is currently running against Rosen in the upcoming election.
