The council voted 4-1 to bring the issue back in January and examine the role of the mayor and vice mayor before making any changes.

Milpitas Mayor Rich Tran and Vice Mayor Karina Dominguez have been at each other’s throats for a while now.

The battle lines have officially been drawn in the 2020 race to replace San Jose’s Almaden Valley Councilman Johnny Khamis. 

Right after ending a five-year tenure as chair of the Santa Clara County GOP, Bob Nuñez landed a new gig as an acting superintendent.

After years on the defensive, the Milpitas mayor is flexing his political muscles, threatening to make good on a threat to oust a political foe.

With 55 percent of the ballots counted Thursday, Milpitas Mayor Rich Tran is on track for an easy victory.

A mailer painting Rich Tran as a communist backfired by drawing fierce condemnation on whoever sent the offending literature.

Rich Tran came under fire this week after the city of Milpitas released a report detailing claims of inappropriate conduct by the young mayor.

A Santa Clara County judge heard oral arguments from both sides on Monday and is expected to issue a ruling in the case within 90 days.

Milpitas may finally part ways with City Manager Tom Williams, whose misuse of public funds could forfeit his severance package.
