THROW THE INCOMPETENT BITCH OUT

Regular readers will remember I have written several times about Christina Corpus, who is apparently still the Sheriff of San Mateo County, at least until Tuesday.  

She is not well liked and has been involved in a bunch of very dubious irregularities in running her office.  Earlier this year, by 84%, the electorate of the county passed a new law allowing the Sheriff to be removed by a vote of at least 80% of the Board of Supervisors.  That in fact happened.  The vote of the board was unanimous.  Corpus is refusing to resign and is asserting that she will fight her removal in court. 

The final hoops to remove her have yet to be jumped thru.  She has requested a stay of her removal from the court.  The court has turned her down.  She had five days to file an appeal of the board action, which took place on Tuesday.  She has announced her intent to appeal, but as far as I can tell she has yet to do so.  I am guessing the five days means five business days or five court days, so she (presumably) has until close of business July 1 to either call or fold.  

I will try to keep you in the know.
