Rebecca Valdez is still on the stand in the Bell corruption trial. Yesterday’s revelation:
After thumbing through binders filled with documents from 2005 to 2010, the city clerk said she detected about eight agendas from 2005 to 2006 that had forged signatures.
Valdez states that she believes Theresa Diaz, the previous city clerk (who, as you may recall, moved out of the city in 2004, but allegedly continued to act as the city clerk until 2007) forged her name on the documents in question.
This exchange is also amusing:
…the Solid Waste and Recycling Authority, which Deputy Dist. Atty Edward Miller has labeled a “sham.”
On Wednesday Miller read the ordinance for that authority, which said it could be created “for the purpose of acquiring, constructing, maintaining or operating an enterprise for the collection, treatment or disposal of waste.”
Miller then asked Valdez: “Have you seen an enterprise for the collection, treatment or disposal of waste in the city of Bell?”
“No,” she replied.
