Was Rio Hondo College Superintendent Ted Martinez forced out of office? Is there more to this situation....

Los Cerritos Community Newspaper was the FIRST media outlet to report on the resignation of Rio Hondo College Board of Trustees Supe Ted Martinez today. My phone has been lighting up on Thursday night after I broke the news. Seems like there is a whole lot more to this situation than meets the eye. Going to keep you posted on additional details on FRIDAY here on the blog at at www.loscerritosnews.net. Taxpayers might end up having to shell out lots of extra money over this situation.  Can't believe the Whittier Daily News is "a sleep at the wheel" on this huge news story...


Lots of interviews planned on Friday.....
