I would like clarification regarding the incident between Mayor Mark Turner and Yvonne Martínez Beltrán. I have heard accusations but that may or may not be the truth. I want to know what actually happened, not just accusations.
If there were witnesses, I feel that we need to hear their input. It feels like Ms. Beltrán is being railroaded. This is a serious incident and we citizens need to hear more.

Editor’s note: See extensive coverage on this website of the investigation into allegations made by Councilmember Yvonne Martínez Beltrán.
It’s not if there were witnesses that the supposed ‘independent, thorough and transparent’ investigation didn’t even contain, it’s why?
When Mark Turner continued his grotesquely cynical hypocrisy and vindictive campaign against council member Martinez- Beltran at the August 20th city council meeting, the community heard directly from an eyewitness of the Feb 7th incident and that witness provided specific, factual and credible information that contradicts what the four other city council members, the City Attorney and City Manager told the ‘independent’ investigator.
What is 100% clear is that what actually happened, as the video shows, is NOT what any of the sources deemed to be credible said. Not even close. And the collection of untrustworthy statements stretches the claim the report “contains factual conclusions” far beyond the breaking point.
