Chula Vista City Attorney candidate Attorney Marco
Verdugo held a press conference in the Chula Vista City Council courtyard Monday, proposing a three- point
comprehensive Anti- Corruption Action Plan to fight
corruption and hold City Hall accountable.
Verdugo’ s three- point plan is to reinforce the City’ s system of checks and balances by convening legal experts to recommend revisions to the City Charter, including granting the City the authority to investigate and recommend the suspension of council members’ authority by a four- fifths super majority when there is evidence of corruption or
malfeasance in office, with a clawback provision that
requires them to pay back their salary during their
suspension if they are convicted of a felony, and to establish a transparent process for the City’ s actions, ensuring due process and protecting against political misuse of power.
Verdugo said suspending a council member by revising
the City Charter is legally sound.

Alonso Gonzalez, a newly appointed Chula Vista
City Council member, has had a string of business,
personal and financial hardships that were not
disclosed when he applied for the position.
According to public records, Gonzales has an
outstanding tax debt, a conviction for driving under
the influence and foreclosed property. State records
also indicate that the licenses for two businesses in his name are suspended.
The 46- year- old real estate broker took the oath of
office this week to fill the District 3 seat, but his
background prevented him from receiving a unanimous
City Council vote for his appointment.
