Supervisors Unanimously Vote To Start Removal Of Elected Sheriff

Supervisors in San Mateo County are beginning steps to remove elected Sheriff Christina Corpus from office. Supervisors voted unanimously Thursday to initiate the removal process. County voters passed Measure A back in March which gives the Board of Supervisors the power to remove Corpus from the position. She’s been under fire for allegedly fostering a culture of intimidation and retaliation while having an inappropriate relationship with a subordinate. Corpus has denied all the claims and says she’s the victim of a political attack by an “old boys network” of men who don’t like that she’s sheriff.
