Mayor Pro Tem Myron Lowery has been criticized for trying to fire embattled city attorney Elbert Jefferson.
But Jefferson fought for his job, basically telling the city council he's done nothing to warrant being terminiated.
But as City Hall reporter Amos Maki is reporting, Jefferson isn't showing up to work, claiming he's too sick. He's a diabetic.
What do you think: Should the council have honored Lowery's request to terminate Jefferson? Or do you think the attorney deserved a second chance?
