Mayor Sheng Thao faces scrutiny as she navigates a tie-breaking vote on a lucrative security contract tied to an ongoing FBI investigation involving city officials.
By opting not to weigh in on the contract for Ana Chretien's company, Mayor Thao avoids the potential conflict of interest stemming from her connections to the FBI probe.
The FBI's investigation, which began in June, has scrutinized not only Mayor Thao but also business dealings involving Mario Juarez and the Duong family.
The intricate relationships in the investigation include property transactions between Juarez and Chretien, pointing to a web of connections that complicate the city's dealings.
