Investigation into Upland Councilman's residency closed
UPLAND - The San Bernardino County District Attorney's Office has closed its investigation into where Councilman Gino Filippi resides.
A complaint was filed with the district attorney's Public Integrity Unit in April accusing Filippi of not living in Upland.
"Well, I was actually surprised that it continued after the election was over, but, of course, I knew all along that I hadn't violated any rules," Filippi said. "I wish I could have a party and show everyone where I live."
Filippi is required to live in the city to be a councilman. He was elected in November 2010.
The Public Integrity Unit has determined that there is not enough evidence to charge Filippi, according to a letter sent to Filippi from the District Attorney's Office.
The investigation included a review of information submitted with the complaint, an independent investigation of the evidence, including witness interviews and examination of pertinent documents and government records, as well as a legal analysis of the evidence, according to the letter.
Filippi was registered to vote from 1996 to 2010 in San Antonio Heights, according to the Registrar of Voters Office.
He changed his registration to an Upland address in July 2010, shortly before pulling his nomination papers with the city. He changed his address to his current residence in September 2010.
Mr. McCleery,
Do you have a life. Give it a rest. The DA investigated Mr. Filippi. WHAT DO YOU WANT???
He has been vindicated. You are OUT OF LINE.
Give yourself time to heal and LEAVE IT ALONE.
YOU ARE WRONG WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT.
He wants the truth. Let's see the alleged letter from the DA's office. There is no real letter. This is all part of the Bulletin protecting him, so he can cover up his past. He lives with his girlfriend in Rancho. He is a liar of the first magnitude. The Bulletin is continually taking down the posts of people that make him look bad. Transparency ? Yes we can see right through him. What a loser.
