Accusations of financial wrongdoing by Superior Mayor Jayme Valenzuela were made as members of the town council were considering whether to retain Town Clerk Rachelle Sanchez past her six-month probationary period during the Dec. 9 council meeting.
During the public hearing on her job, Sanchez dropped a bombshell during her statement to the council that four cash withdrawals totaling $1,311 were made on town credit and debit cards during December 2014 at locations that included the Wild Horse Pass Casino in Chandler. It was further alleged that some of the cash withdrawals were made by Mayor Valenzuela.
