Other than the relationship being sexual (big deal, he isn't Eliot Spitzer) is he accused of doing anything else wrong, like redirecting money because of the relationship?

Yes, lying under oath, purgery, and various other charges. Sounds like another Clinton.. I guess if Clinton didnt have to resign, why should this guy?

I just have difficulty caring about that kind of issue, unless the official is giving out favoritism or contracts due to the relationship or spending taxpayer $ to fund it.

Lying about sex doesn't hit my charts as a big deal, unless you are a major hypocrite about the issue (Spitzer and Jim Bakker come to mind). If you haven't been publically self rightous, I really don't care about it at all unless there has been something as mentioned in my first paragraph.

Frankly, I don't think they should be asked about this stuff under oath, unless other issues are of concern.

He spent $8Million tax payers money settling a lawsuit about "sex"... because he fired 3 police officers to hide what he was doing.

He also cost the tax payers hundreds of thousands fighting the allegations of "sex" and lying about it..

Why does he get to use the tax payers funds to fight a personal lawsuit? I'll give Clinton credit that he at least raised private funds to fight the lawsuits against him.. Why would this guy step down if they continue to allow him to use the taxpayers funds to fight legal battles? He'd be a fool, but then he did lie about sex..

I haven't been following his case, but the firing of police officers is beyond what is mentioned in the story. Also, prosecution for lying about sex, or even asking about sex, is beyond my caring about politics.

The mayors of LA and San Francisco were found to be having affairs this past year too.

This guy is so full of himself he probably doesn't even think he done anything wrong. He even wears a hat with his own name embroidered on it. He thinks he's the "lord" of Detroit.

This all came out because people were fired for investigating wrongdoing. Those people got 8 million in the suit and the mayor lied under oath.

The mayors of LA and San Francisco were found to be having affairs this past year too.

The officers were investigating a murder (Tamara Greene..) which happened to unveil some unsavory things the mayor wanted to keep under wraps. (see affair..ect) The officers were, as hindsight would prove, unfairly fired for getting "too close" to the story, or the truth, as i should say. So, in essence, the affair is just a part of the story, but an important one nonetheless.
