Ilocos mayor back after suspension
>> Tuesday, April 16, 2013
PAGUDPUD, Ilocos Norte -- The mayor of this
tourist town re-assumed her office Wednesday after serving the four-month
suspension imposed on her by the provincial board for abuse of authority.
Mayor Maja
Henson-Sales said she rescinded the designations made by the acting mayor
during her absence.
She said her
brother-in-law, Vice Mayor Marlon Sales, had reassigned some employees to new
departments and that she ordered them back to their original positions.
The two are pitted in
the mayoral race in the May polls.
The mayor’s
administrative case stemmed from a resident’s complaint that she allegedly
meddled in a land dispute and used her influence to favor one of the parties.
The Ombudsman has
dismissed the criminal aspect of the case.
