Centro Civico Mexicano leader ousted after jail time, but insists hes still in charge – Salt Lake City
Tagged: Salt Lake City, UtahPosted on: July 12th, 2007“Centro Civico Mexicano board members say the oldest Latino organization in Utah is running smoothly despite intense infighting among group leaders and the lingering question of who’s in charge.
John Renteria, the center’s disputed president and a Salt Lake City mayoral candidate, was ousted from his position by the board about a month ago while he was in jail for three weeks on a probation violation.
Renteria, 55, called the board’s action to remove him “ruthless and pretty ignorant.” With about four months left to serve as president, he claims the board violated the centers bylaws to remove him from office. “
