Attorney General Jerry Brown has weighed in on the heated San Diego mayoral race, announcing Tuesday that his office had cleared Mayor Jerry Sanders of charges of corruption.
The case is a strange one, stemming from a 2007 letter to the editor of the San Diego Union-Tribune from City Attorney Mike Aguirre, a Sanders rival.
In his letter to the editor, Aguirre argued Sanders had "engaged in an embarrassing and corrupt course of action" in approving a construction project.
Sanders responded by asking the attorney general to investigate...himself.
Jerry Brown obliged and today issued a report saying "the record does not support the allegations made by the city attorney against the mayor."
Sanders is in a tough reelection race on the June 3 ballot against multimillionaire challenger Steve Francis.
