UPDATE on Cortes / Berry / Schwab Investigations

There seems to be no public information as to the status of the Cortes Conflict of interest that has been brought to the attention of the DA's Office.

In addition the DA's Office has not released any information on an Investigation into the Cover Up of a Criminal Investigation for alleged crimes perpetrated by Steve Berry and then not brought to the DA's Office upon the request of Tom Schwab. This obstruction of Justice or a Criminal Investigation included the Sheriff's Office and the Investigating Officers.

Yet, Council Member Jim Miller's case moves slowly through the courts.

It is time the DA's Office either drops or reduces the charges on Jim Miller or start filing charges on Cortes / Berry / Schwab for the transgressions which exceed those by Jim Miller tenfold.

The DA's paying his wife for campaign work during a non election year stinks more than Jim Miller voting on a consent calender for Services Rendered by the only local news paper in Grand Terrace that is fully owned by his wife, with services negotiated by Schwab and Berry without City Council Approval.
