Seattle's embattled Mayor Ed Murray has told the Seattle Times he has no plans to resign, even after a new accuser has stepped forward with sexual abuse claims. (UPDATE--shortly after the news broke and this story was published, Mayor Murray resigned his position).

After Mayor Ed Murray said earlier this week he would not be resigning, one City Council member hinted it might be time to consider a "transition in executive leadership," meaning forcing out the Mayor who's facing sex abuse charges.

Jeff Simpson is a 49-year-old who, along with three others, claim Seattle Mayor Ed Murray abused him as a teen in the 1980's. Although Murray and his attorney strongly deny such accusations, shocking new documents have been found in the Oregon CPS (Child Protective Services) system showing officials believe he actually did.

It was tried and rejected in Santa Fe, New Mexico, but now Seattle Mayor Ed Murray wants to tax soda at a rate 8 times higher than beer.

The four men now accusing Seattle Mayor Ed Murray of paying them for sexual activity share a common thread, they've all had some troubles involving drugs and/or crime since their teens, but they also point a finger at the Mayor of Seattle.

One cannot help but notice that with all the controversy now surrounding Seattle Mayor Ed Murray over the big sexual abuse lawsuit, as well as other controversial policies, his opponent from 2013 has re-entered the political ring.

According to sources, the attorney representing a man suing the Mayor of Seattle for sex abuse allegations says Ed Murray is not telling the truth.

In the wake of a shooting involving a Wapato police officer last summer, shocking social media comments made by the town's mayor could result in a major lawsuit.

In the wake of the fatal shooting of a domestic violence suspect by Wapato police in July, now several hundred citizens are demanding the resignation of the mayor, because of social media comments he made at the time.

One of the New York media headlines read, "Weiner down."
