City of Vernon Focus of Corruption Probe
Vernon, CA - Vernon city officials do not want the L.A. County District Attorney to look at some allegedly potentially
damaging documents currently under seal, reports the L.A. Times and San Jose Mercury News on 4-26-06.
Vernon is taking it all the way to the California Supreme Court. Eduardo Olivo, then Vernon's city attorney, began to
investigate whistleblower complaints of misuse of public funds against the city's own management and was fired by
Vernon officials.
Olivo is now City of Commerce's attorney and is suing Francisco Leal, Huntington Park's attorney, for Leal's alleged
misdeeds while he was attorney in Commerce (see report).
