A group of Chico citizens is suiting Chico Mayor Kasey Reynolds for not recusing herself from voting on the Downtown Chico Revitalization Plan.... A group of eight Chico citizens including former Chico Mayor Ann Schwab is suing Reynolds claiming she is violating the Political Reform Act. Reynolds voted against a downtown revitalization plan on April 21st. The group says that Reynolds should not have voted on the project because she owns Schubert's Ice Cream and Candy and receives a salary from the business. The Act forbids elected officials from making governmental decisions when they have a personal financial interest in the outcome. Councilman Tom Van Overbeck recused himself during the vote because he owns property in the downtown corridor. As reported in the Chico ER....According to Fair Political Practice Committee forms Reynolds is co-owner and receives a salary from Schubert's Ice Cream and Candy. Local attorney Peter Washington says they tried to resolve the matter without filing the suit but they came up empty.
