Centro Civico changes planned – New leader wants to make it more politically involved
Tagged: Salt Lake City, Utah
Margarita Rodriguez has taken the reins of the Centro Civico Mexicano, pledging to make the beleaguered organization more politically involved and more welcoming to non-Mexicans, including both Latinos and Anglos.
“I know we’ve had a rough last year,” Rodriguez said Monday at a news conference to introduce Centro Civico’s new leadership. That rough year included a vote last August to oust former president John Renteria, who had been jailed on a violation of his probation for misdemeanor traffic violations, and who was criticized by some former board members for creating “an atmosphere of hostility and intimidation.”"*
