Inland Empire city councilman charged with felony conflict of interest
Authorities in San Bernardino today charged a Grand Terrace councilman with felony conflict of interest. Investigators say Councilman Jim Miller voted for city expenditures that benefited his wife’s business. More on the story from KPCC’s Steven Cuevas.
Jim Miller is charged with approving some $18,000 in county-sponsored advertising that appeared in Grand Terrace City News, a weekly newspaper published and printed by his wife. Margie Miller says she stopped accepting the ads last year, after a city official notified her that there could be a conflict of interest.
CA/Local News
Jim Miller’s day job is with the San Bernardino County Real Estate Services Department. That agency’s placed him on administrative leave. But Miller can keep his job as a Grand Terrace city councilman – unless a jury finds him guilty of felony conflict of interest. Voters elected Miller to the Grand Terrace council 5 years ago. He’s up for re-election in three years. He faces up to three years in state prison if convicted.

Tacos Baja Ensenada
Do not judge this restaurant by its cover, rather by the lines you're likely to find during the lunch rush. The famed fish tacos are made with flavorful, deep fried halibut filets that crumble in your mouth, wrapped in two perfectly grilled corn tortillas and topped with shredded cabbage, salsa and a rich cream sauce. For the adventurous types, there is a nice spread of condiments and salsas. The atmosphere is laid back and the prices so reasonable you'll forget you're in LA. By far the best fish tacos north of the border!
