San Carlos became the first city in San Mateo County to call for embattled Sheriff Christina Corpus to step down after the City Council unanimously took a position of no confidence in the sheriff on Monday.'It's nothing less than a full spectrum failure of leadership,' said Mayor John Dugan at Monday's council meeting.
'The Board of Supervisors is attempting to remove Corpus by adopting a charter amendment that would give them the power to force the sheriff out but would expire by 2029. However, the amendment would have to be approved by voters in a special election in March.One of Corpus' leading critics, San Mateo County Deputy Sheriff's Association union president Carlos Tapia, was also in attendance at Monday's City Council meeting.
