Riverside County Again Rejects Bianco Legal-Bill Request

Riverside County has again decided not to pay the legal bills of Sheriff Chad Bianco.

The decision

The county’s decision means Bianco will not have those legal costs covered by Riverside County. The action follows an earlier refusal to pay his legal bills.

What is known

Bianco is Riverside County’s sheriff. The decision involves legal expenses connected to him, but the legal matter and the amount of the bills are not identified here.

What comes next

Any further action would depend on the county’s process for handling the request and on whether Bianco or county officials seek another decision. A public record identifying the case, the amount requested and the vote or action taken would provide additional detail.
