STATEMENT BY COUNCIL MEMBER PAUL CUNNINGHAM
June 1, 2012

I am releasing this statement in regards to multiple requests concerning my actions during the recent trip to San Diego.

I acknowledge that I had too much to drink and said some things that might be considered inappropriate.

I apologize for my behavior. I have some personal issues that I'm dealing with. I will make amends to anyone I offended and to my constituents as best I can.

I fully support the City Attorney’s inquiry into this incident. I will reserve further comment until the conclusion of the investigation.
