A federal investigation into corruption in Baldwin Park has revealed that a former councilman allegedly agreed to help the city’s deposed police chief obtain a seat on a Rialto-based water district board in exchange for promises that the councilman would be hired to a high-paying administrative post in the district. The alleged quid pro quo scheme between then-Councilman Ricardo Pacheco and ousted Police Chief Michael Taylor was revealed in documents unsealed by the U.S. Department of Justice on Friday, Oct. 7, in its case against former San Bernardino County Planning Commissioner Gabriel Chavez.
