UPDATE 4:35 P.M.: Every member of the San Diego city council has already called on Mayor Bob Filner to resign in the wake of his sexual harassment scandal. And so it's safe to assume that the council will vote on Friday to approve an agreement the city has reportedly struck with the mayor precisely because that deal contains more than a resignation. So what else is in it?

Gloria Allred, the attorney representing many of the women who've complained of harassment, preemptively came out Thursday afternoon to urge the city not to pay off the mayor to leave. At issue is whether taxpayers will help cover his legal fees in one lawsuit that Allred said has not been settled as part of the city's agreement. Local news outlets are also reporting that Filner stands to receive as much as $82,000 a year in public pensions.
