Written by the judges who cited it.
The opinion
JOSEPH, J.,
specially concurring.
The writ of review point is well taken. On the interpretation of the charter, I am not quite satisfied that the majority clearly states my view. The sentence "Appointed officers shall hold their office [sic] during the pleasure * * *” merely states the "term” of office, which is indefinite. The sentence "They are subject to removal * * *” merely (and redundantly) states what *276 can end "pleasure.” In context "malfeasance” includes a failure to follow instructions, orders or policy.
I concur.
