The San Carlos City Council's vote follows the release of an explosive report on Sheriff Corpus by an independent investigator.
The San Carlos City Council voted Monday for a motion of no confidence in San Mateo County Sheriff Christina Corpus, and called for her resignation.With unanimous support, the San Carlos City Council voted Monday night for a motion of no confidence in San Mateo County Sheriff Christina Corpus, and called for her resignation.That report says the sheriff has abused her power while in office, had an inappropriate relationship with her chief of staff and sent out racist and homophobic text messages.
While the county's Board of Supervisors can't remove her, they are exploring adopting a charter amendment early next year."I think the facts here speak for themselves. She's clearly lost the confidence of her organization and most of the leaders in this community. And, yes, if she requires us to go through this entire process and spend the money required - that is a selfish act," Dugan said.
The president of the deputy's union Carlos Tapia - who was recently arrested by his own department - attended Monday's vote and denied those claims.
