Mission Viejo, California, could pay up to $700,000 in legal fees to a resident who sued the city, alleging all of its councilmembers illegally extended their terms in office.
Orange County Superior Court Judge Walter Schwarm ordered the city to pay more than $715,000 to Mission Viejo resident Michael Schlesinger this month. The required payments were handed down in four separate orders, with the most recent being issued Oct. 6.
