Fresno County Grand Jury report criticizes Drinkhouse

A Fresno County grand jury report released today harshly criticizes former Sanger City Manager Jim Drinkhouse and other city officials.

The report said that Drinkhouse, who resigned abruptly in February after seven years as the city's top administrator, told the City Council after he was hired that he had been arrested for forgery and had a gambling habit. Nonetheless, the council decided to keep him on the job.

The report also said that the grand jury found "several instances of conflicts of interest in development projects" and that "some actions by city officials were a conflict of interest, inappropriate, and illegal."

Drinkhouse was not immediately available for comment.
