Lake Forest City Council discord is due to the actions of Councilman Adam Nick and James Gardner

The Orange County Register on Adam Nick

http://www.ocregister.com/articles/robinson-733619-barajas-council.html

• many times . . . has crossed the line to incivility
• he has been known to berate his colleagues, or even a citizen
• he lacks the temperament to work productively on the council to get things done

Voice of OC on Adam Nick

Here are excepts from the article:

• When confronted with the various accusations, Nick for the most part confirms they are accurate. However, in almost every instance, he claims to have not realized that his actions were illegal.
• “[Nick] said that he hated [Herzog], he wished he was dead,” McCullough said. “The first thing he said was, ‘I would already have him dead. But I want to do it myself. I want to feel the life drain out of his body.’ And he took his hands, like he was strangling someone.”
• Herzog, a longtime councilman who resigned in frustration with city politics in 2013, said, “nothing [Nick says] would surprise him.”
• “If that’s true, that is obviously something that should never happen… and quite frankly, again if it’s true, that puts my family at risk, and that’s just unacceptable,” Herzog said.
• Nick said he did make a comment about “hanging” somebody . . . he admits he shouldn’t have said it.
• Regarding his alleged comments aimed at Herzog, Nick says he never said he wanted Herzog “physically dead.” Politically dead, however, might be another story.
