DA files 21 felony counts for mismanagement, financial improprieties
Following a lengthy criminal investigation, former San Mateo County Community College District Chancellor Ron Galatolo is being charged with 21 felonies for alleged mismanagement of district contracts and other financial improprieties.
The San Mateo County District Attorney’s Office announced charges April 7, alleging fraudulent reporting of charitable donations, steering district construction projects as chancellor, failure to disclose gifts from construction firms who had business with the district, and underreporting the purchase price of luxury cars.
“In my observation, somebody who moves to a level of enormous authority sometimes fails to remember the rules apply to everybody. He needs to remember everyone must follow the rules,” San Mateo County District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe said Thursday.
