High level meeting at Coco's
As you know, eyes are all over the city ...
Numerous sources have told me they spotted Mayor Pat Morris, Chief of Staff Jim Morris, and ousted Operation Phoenix Director Glenn Baude having breakfast together at the Coco's restaurant on Highland Avenue near Arden.
One can only speculate what the topic was. Baude, whom Morris originally entrusted with the lead role in his anti-crime program, was placed on leave Friday by City Manager Fred Wilson for unspecified "conduct" over the past few weeks, according to Wilson.

Odd at first.
But now with the revelation that Fred Wilson is on his way out, the pieces start to come together.
Mayor Morris needed Fred Wilson to move on in an amicable fashion. Now Glenn Baude will return to his previous post at Code and stand down on any lawsuit against the city. Fred Wilson moves on to greener pastures and puts San Bernardino in his rearview mirror and Mayor Morris innoculates himself from questioning as to what he knew and when he knew it with respect to Mike Miller.
