The Woodside town council has voted 4-1 to endorse Measure A, which targets Sheriff Christina Corpus for allegations including abuse of power and racism. This endorsement aligns them with other boards in San Mateo County. Councilwoman Jennifer Wall opposed the measure, citing concerns from residents about representation and precedent. Councilman Paul Goeld argued that this endorsement relates specifically to local law enforcement and is not merely an academic concern. Measure A emerged following an independent investigation revealing deep-seated issues within the sheriff's office, including claims of nepotism and intimidation.
Councilman Paul Goeld emphasized that endorsing Measure A is a crucial local issue, stating, 'I have a perfect right to comment on the person in charge of our law enforcement.'
Councilwoman Jennifer Wall noted her concerns about the council’s endorsement, expressing that it 'doesn't represent everyone in town' and worried about setting a precedent.
