Colma Mayor Imbroglio

According to the Examiner Newspaper, Colma Mayor Larry Formalejo is currently under investigation for as of yet undefined misconduct and may be forced out of his council position.
Last Thursday, the Colma Town Council held a special meeting specifically to discuss Formalejo’s conduct but no details of that discussion have been released to the public.
Formalejo, elected to a four year term in 2004 is serving his first rotation as mayor in 2008 and is the first Filipino Mayor in the town’s history.
The news of Formalejo’s troubles is rocking the small necropolis which has seen two former councilmembers plead to federal charges related to taking unreported gifts from the owner of the local casino, Luck Chances.
Rumors are flying over the specific allegations against Formalejo but Colma officials are remaining tight-lipped.
It appears likely, however, that Colma will lose another member of its council before the end of the month.
