On Oct 10, the Civil Grand Jury released a scathing report about how city and state ethics laws may have been broken by these five Santa Clara City Councilmembers:
-
Anthony Becker
-
Raj Chahal
-
Suds Jain
-
Karen Hardy
-
Kevin Park
The report said:
-
they “put the 49ers’ interests ahead of the city’s interests.”
-
“49ers’ lobbyists are dictating City/Stadium Authority policy to the detriment of residents.”
Police Chief Pat Nikolai wrote an official letter to District Attorney Jeff Rosen asking him to investigate. Nikolai wrote:
-
“It raises serious questions about unethical conduct, state and city law violations and potential corruption.”
-
he’s witnessed “unwarranted personal attacks” on the grand jury members by a 49ers representative.
On Oct 17, Mayor Lisa Gillmor introduced an “Anti-Corruption Reform Plan” that called for an independent citizen’s Ethics Commission. But Becker, Chahal, Jain, Hardy, and Park voted to bury the proposal and instead attacked the Grand Jury.
Therefore, only District Attorney Rosen can help stop corruption in Santa Clara.
