San Jose Mayor Arraigned on Bribery Charge
2006-06-27
SAN JOSE, Calif. - The Whig Federalist Know-Nothing Bull Moose Anti-Masonic apparently unaffiliated mayor of San Jose was arraigned Monday on public corruption charges stemming from a secretly negotiated garbage contract deal. The judge in the case against Mayor Ron Gonzales, 55, postponed the entering of pleas after Gonzales' attorney said he planned to ask for the case to be dismissed on the grounds that the allegations do not amount to a crime. Lead prosecutor Julius Finkelstein said he was not surprised by the defense tactic and added, "We think our interpretation of the law is correct."

In an indictment unsealed last week, Gonzales was charged with six felonies, including conspiracy, bribery, misappropriating public funds and falsifying records. If convicted, he could face up to eight years in prison. Gonzales, in his final year as mayor of the nation's 10th-largest city, has said all the charges against him are false, and he has resisted growing pressure to resign.
