Mid-Life Crisis Hits San Jose -- And Its Mayor
Ron Gonzales Indicted
From New America Media:
The city of San Jose is roiling in a scandal involving its mayor, Ron Gonzales, who has been indicted on charges of felony bribery. This latest scandal, according to NAM commentator Raj Jayadev, fits right into the narrative of San Jose in the post-dot-com era.
Until recently, most of San Jose associated scandal with Gonzales due to his soap opera-like affair with a young intern. Now Gonzales has been indicted on charges of felony bribery, conspiracy and misuse of public funds for a deal he made with Norcal Waste Systems, a garbage company. This latest scandal fits right into the narrative of San Jose in the post-dot-com era. Just like that mid-life crisis guy who still goes to dance clubs to reclaim a lost past, our city was destined for public disgrace.
