Former Placerville mayor resigns from City Council
By Carlos Alcalá, Sacramento Bee
Former Placerville Mayor Dave Machado has resigned his seat on the City Council, effective immediately.
Machado has been under a legal cloud since the El Dorado County District Attorney filed felony and misdemeanor charges against him in August, when he was still mayor.
Machado submitted his resignation Tuesday, addressed to City Manager Cleve Morris. It became public Wednesday.
The resignation is not at all related to the charges he faces, Machado said Wednesday by phone.
“The district attorney thinks I’ve done something wrong,” he said, “not the city.”
In his resignation letter, Machado referred to his real estate activities.
“The district attorney thinks I’ve done something wrong,” he said, “not the city.” What an incredibly absurd quote.
WELL LISTEN HARDER TO THE SHOE ME IN MAYORS IN THIS TOWN, YOU CAN LAUGH ALL DAY.
NOT TO MENTION A LOT THE FORMERS SHOE IN MAYORS.
