San Joaquin County supervisors change method of hiring their assistants

Posted: Tuesday, December 11, 2012 12:21 pm | Updated: 2:47 pm, Thu Dec 13, 2012.

The San Joaquin County Board of Supervisors voted Tuesday to change how supervisors' assistants are appointed, a move one supervisor said is an act of political retribution.

Supervisor Leroy Ornellas said the 3-1 vote is a bald political move to punish his own assisant for reporting a possible violation of the Ralph M. Brown Act involving three other supervisors.
