Is Mayor Bernard Wagner to Be Disqualified from Running?
An online media outlet reported today that sitting Belize City Mayor, Bernard Wagner is to be disqualified from running in the March third municipal elections. The article claims focuses on the mayor’s nomination papers which indicate that he resides in the Los Lagos community, in the Belize District. According to the story the Belize City Council Act Chapter 85 revised Edition 2011 reads that “No person shall be eligible for election as a member of the Council, or having been elected, shall sit or vote on the Council, who: has not ordinarily resided in Belize City for at least one year immediately preceding the date of the election or is not domiciled in Belize.”
Rep. Chip Roy (R., Texas) said he is weighing whether to take legal action against the "unconstitutional" metal detectors and fines instituted by Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.) to stop members from carrying guns on the House floor.
On January 20, 2021, the California Court of Appeal, Second District, Division Six (Ventura), in
Plascencia v. Deese (B299142), vacated a $30 million non-economic damages award in a highway fatality case because: (1) the award did not properly apportion non-economic damages among everyone at fault in violation of Proposition 51; and (2) the amount of the award appeared to have been influenced by plaintiffs’ counsel’s misconduct and prejudicial remarks during closing argument.
In
Plascencia, the plaintiffs sued several defendants for the wrongful death of their daughter arising from a highway fatality accident. All the defendants settled or were dismissed before trial except the trucking defendants. The highway fatality was caused when one defendant driver made an illegal U-turn on a highway as she left another defendant’s fruit stand. The plaintiffs’ daughter swerved to avoid the U-turn driver, lost control of her car, and crashed into the back of the trucking defendants
