When Annalisa Perea did not cast a vote for Fresno City Council leadership, it confused those counting the tally. After City Councilmember Tyler Maxwell nominated Mike Karbassi to serve again as president, and Nelson Esparza as vice president, no one opposed the motion. Their explanation created more confusion.

After Fresnoland published its two-part investigation on Jan. 7 into city leaders’ use of a policy “loophole” to hand out dozens of contracts worth $100,000 or less, Chavez spoke to Fresnoland over the phone about how and why he handed out city contracts to political consultant Alex Tavlian’s company.
