Chula Vista

<p></p>

<p>Chula Vista politician John McCann used a legal defense fund to recoup legal fees he owed from a 2014 defamation lawsuit he filed – and he appears to have violated state and local election laws by using a legal defense fund to file a lawsuit, not defend one. </p>

<p>State and local elections laws restrict the use of legal defense funds to only pay fees and costs associated with prosecutions or lawsuits filed against candidates or elected officials. </p>

<p>In the wake of recent public shooting incidents across the United States, Chula Vista residents will have the opportunity to learn about how to remain safe in the middle of such incidents.</p>
<p>On Monday, April 16, the Chula Vista Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) will hold an informational session which will cover safety, first aid, and other potentially life-saving practices to be mindful of in the middle of an active shooter scenario.</p>
