Lepine Drops Harassment Suit, Receives No Payment. Will Campaign Now Focus on Goldsmith's Domestic Uproars?

Amy Lepine, one of the losing candidates in the city attorney's race, today (July 11) dropped the harassment and gender discrimination suit against City Attorney Mike Aguirre and the City. She dropped it just before a judge was to rule on the city attorney's motion to dismiss the case for lack of evidence, according to Aguirre's office. Lepine's suit got much attention during the recent campaign. Acccording to Aguirre's office, Ms. Lepine will receive no payments from either the City or Aguirre. Lepine could not be reached for comment. Possibly the campaign will finally focus on a matter that definitely reflects on the character of a candidate: Jan Goldsmith, Aguirre's opponent in the November runoff. As Matt Potter of the Reader reported Feb. 6, Goldsmith threatened his wife Christine "in an uncontrolled manner" in 1986, she reported in a divorce filing that year. Goldsmith "gave me a hard shove in the chest and cocked his fist in an extremely threatening manner," frightening the children, she stated. "He then began throwing items off the kitchen counter in a continuing rage," she said in her statement. The next day, she slept at her sister's house with her children, according to the document. The couple reconciled and she dropped the divorce action. However, if he wins, he will be running the Domestic Violence unit. When the matter came up in February, the couple said they were proud of the way they reconciled.
