Wagner announced the affidavit during his final remarks as a councilmember Monday night. (City of Malibu)
MALIBU, CA At a Monday night City Council meeting that saw the swearing in of three new councilmembers, 0utgoing Councilmember Jefferson Wagner announced he had provided incoming Councilmember Bruce Silverstein with an affidavit alleging several instances of City Hall corruption.
In a seven-page sworn affidavit, Wagner alleges that he was offered bribes by a vendor in exchange for voting for a contract, and that the city failed to investigate his claim of bribery; that former Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa pressured him to extend City Manager Reva Feldman s contract and raise her salary, and an unexplained police raid on his home came two days after he did not; and that he has heard multiple rumors of city staff being bribed for favors and access, though he did not list any names.
