Two community leaders in Alviso have been fighting over a six-figure lawsuit settlement, but one of them has a violent past that’s just come to light.

Other items going before the Rules and Open Government Committee on Wednesday include Vice Mayor Madison Nguyen fighting for the public’s right to take photos in public spaces and potential raises for City Manager Debra Figone and City Attorney Rich Doyle.
