Former Compton Councilman Isaac Galvan, who served from 2013 to 2022, is expected to plead guilty in the federal bribery case involving marijuana permits in Baldwin Park. His tenure ended when his 2021 re-election was overturned for election fraud. The long delay in resolving his bribery misconduct has fueled community frustration and renewed calls for stronger accountability in local government.
Compton residents are outraged after the City Council illegally canceled its meeting instead of convening and adjourning as required by the City Charter. The move appears to shield Councilmember Spicer and the City Manager from scrutiny over thousands in questionable credit-card charges. Citizens demand transparency, the release of the full credit-card report, and accountability from all officials involved.
