IN A SALINAS CITY COUNCIL MEETING TUESDAY IT WAS DECIDED TO MOVE FORWARD WITH FILING A LAWSUIT TO HAVE JOSE CASTANEDA REMOVED FROM HIS SCHOOL BOARD SEAT. LAST MONTH SALINAS SENT A LETTER TO THE ALISAL UNION SCHOOL BOARD REQUESTING AN OPINION ON CASTENEDA HOLDING BOTH A CITY COUNCILMEMBER AND SCHOOL BOARD SEAT AND WAS MET WITH NO RESPONSE. IN A 4 TO 2 VOTE THE COUNCIL WILL MOVE FORWARD IN FILING THE LAWSUIT WITH THE ATTORNEY GENERAL’S OFFICE TO TRY AND REMOVE CASTANEDA FROM HIS BOARD SEAT.
