Investigations into two sitting Chula Vista Councilmembers may have been tainted by actions of City officials before outside attorneys have released their own findings in the cases.
Separate complaints were filed last month by Dr. Peter Watry, Jr., a retired Economics professor, raising concerns that Councilman John McCann and Councilwoman Andrea Cardenas may have violated the City’s campaign laws.
According to the City’s Municipal Code, such complaints must be filed with the City Clerk who, in turn, must forward them to outside lawyers pre-selected by the City Board of Ethics to serve as an independent Enforcement Authority so that City staff are not conflicted in reviewing complaints against the City or City officials.

Jesus is boss
Jesus Cardenas came under fire in 2019 by then-county supervisor candidate and state senator
Ben Hueso for “gaming” the San Diego Democratic Party central committee, resulting in the endorsement of Hueso’s foe,
Nora Vargas. She ultimately won the election. Now Cardenas, the new chief of staff for San Diego city councilman
Stephen Whitburn, has filed his legally required statement of economic interests for last year, revealing that his Chula Vista-based political consulting outfit Grassroots Resources is valued between $100,000 and $1 million and grossed between $10,000 and $100,000.
