COMMERCE, CA —
Popular Commerce City Councilman Hugo Argumedo is out of office tonight and lucky to not be spending the next couple of years in jail.
On Monday, Los Angeles County prosecutors say Argumedo pleaded guilty to obstruction of justice and must resign his council seat immediately.
The District Attorney's Public Integrity's office say the 49-year-old Argumedo entered his plea Monday to the misdemeanor count. As part of the plea deal, a felony count of perjury was dismissed.
Argumedo also will be barred from holding public office for the next three years while on probation. The Associated Press reported on Monday night that Argumedo signed a false affidavit as part of a civil lawsuit with ex-city attorney Francisco Leal. The affidavit was filed by Leal in an attempt to defend allegations he failed to pay a settlement owed to the city in a contract dispute between the city and former city attorney.
Leal is the highly over paid paid city attorney of Huntington Park. Records show that Leal was paid more than $700,000 in public funds by the City of Huntington Park City Council last year alone for legal services. Huntington Park has less than 60,000 residents.
Argumedo moved to the City of Commerce in 1994 and was elected to the City Council in 1996 to fill the unexpired term of Ruben Batres. Argumedo was reelected to the City Council in 1997, 1999, and 2003. In addition to his duties on the City Council, he serves as a member of the California Contract Cities Association, I-710 Oversight Policy Committee, Greater Los Angeles County Vector Control District and as a representative with the Southern California Association of Governments. As a member of the City Council, he has played an active role in the city and is committed to improving community safety, education and employment. He helped initiate the City's Education Commission, community-based policing program and city scholarship program. While serving on the City Council, Hugo has also served as a member of many community-based organizations, including the Model City Democratic Club of Commerce, the Commerce Sister City Association, and the Rosewood Park Elementary School PTA.
He is also the half-brother of Montebello School ard Member Hector Chacon, and Central Basin Water Board Member Art Chacon. Stay tuned. Look for tons of political fall out from this case. Who is next? Hummmm. The ring of corruption is GROWING....
