He's claiming that the city has breached the non-disparagement clause of the settlement agreement, and he's claiming this happened when Commissioner Joe Carollo

made disparaging remarks about him during, I think it was a radio show, and called him, quote-unquote, the most corrupt cop in America.

And then also, apparently, city attorney George Wysong called him, quote-unquote, a former, well, almost former police captain.

And Ortiz is claiming that these were disparaging remarks that breached the non-disparagement clause of the agreement.

Well, yeah, one of them, I think the remark that Carollo allegedly made was 2023.

And then the remark made by Why Song was more recent in February.

Good question.

So they haven't really played ball with us.

I have not heard back from Ortiz's attorney or Ortiz himself.

The city also didn't comment for our story.

I asked if they could respond to the complaint filed by Ortiz and they haven't responded.

So it's all...

Big question mark right now.

No, but it's a good suggestion.

I mean, especially right now with the runoff election coming up.

Well, keeping an eye on the court docket, I think you have a good suggestion in reaching out to Eileen and Emilio and seeing what they have to say about this whole situation and just the future of their administration and whether it'll include some of the people who have allowed or helped allow Ortiz to stay on the force as long as he has.

So, yeah.

Thank you for having me.
