CA: The Heat's on Public Guardian John Williams

The heat continues to be turned up on Public Administrator/Guardian John Williams in the wake of his involvement in the controversial firing of Senior Deputy District Attorney Todd Spitzer.

As Voice of OC reported Tuesday, the California Coalition of Law Enforcement Associations sent a letter to Attorney General Jerry Brown calling for an investigation the into Williams' role in the firing and his handling of an elder abuse case that Spitzer had inquired about.

The letter also linked the current imbroglio to grand jury investigations last year that were critical of how Williams handled his budgets.

Williams responded with a letter to Brown's office that provided more details regarding Spitzer's behavior and stated that the law enforcement group is misleading the public by trying to provide a "nexus" between his handling of an elder abuse case and the grand jury investigations.

"I don't see any correlation between our current elder abuse investigation and this department's human resources/personnel and budget practices other than like most public entities in California, including the Attorney General's Office I'm sure, we are understaffed and underfunded," Williams wrote.
