Judge Orders Conchas Back to Council

A judge just overturned Glendale City Council’s decision to remove Councilman Lupe Conchas, declaring the move illegal. Conchas was elected to the paid SRP board, but the city charter only bans holding other paid public offices — except for notaries and military roles. The judge ruled SRP’s $60/day per diem is a reimbursement, not a salary, so it’s legal. Conchas is reinstated — a major win for him and a reminder that even well-intentioned rules can backfire if misinterpreted. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
