"Hearing Officer James Emerson recommended the Board of Supervisors fire Corpus for nepotism and illegally firing Carlos Tapia, president of the deputies union. Emerson, after a 10-day public hearing, found Corpus guilty on 15 of 18 counts. It's unclear what would need to be redacted since Emerson based his report on testimony taken publicly. The Post has filed public records requests for the recommendations and the briefs each side filed."
"Meanwhile, Corpus has asked California Attorney General Rob Bonta to intervene "to stop an unlawful and dangerous abuse of power in San Mateo County." Corpus faces removal on two fronts. The Board of Supervisors has obtained voter approval to amend the county charter to remove her. And the civil grand jury, which is led by District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe, has recommended putting her on trial, and if convicted, she could be removed from office and barred from ever holding public office again."
Hearing Officer James Emerson recommended the Board of Supervisors fire Sheriff Christina Corpus for nepotism and illegally firing Carlos Tapia, president of the deputies union, finding her guilty on 15 of 18 counts after a 10-day public hearing. The county has possessed Emerson's 42-page report since Monday but plans to release a possibly redacted version next week despite public records requests and published briefs. Corpus requested California Attorney General Rob Bonta to intervene. Corpus faces removal through a voter-approved county charter amendment and a civil grand jury recommendation that could lead to trial and permanent disbarment from public office. Allegations include an affair and preferential hiring of Victor Aenlle.
