With the controversy of the elections still looming over at Student Activities there seems to be rumors of an impeachment proceedings flying around Cerritos College.

Cerritos College Chief Justice Pro Tempore is under attack by Senate members and students accusing him of not being professional at the election polls.

Sargeant at Arms Miguel Ramos two weeks ago on April 30 informally at a senate meeting said that two students have complained to Ramos about Jerry Ramos’s conduct at election polls the and he felt that it warranted the chief justice pro temproe impeachment according Jerry Ramos.

With this happening at the meeting it was a surprise to most that were there.

Associated Students of Cerritos College President James Towns feels that it has something to do with the election results.

“I believe personally that it has something to do with the elections. We expected everything to run smoothly and it didn’t happen,” Towns said.

Also Towns said that the people making such charges against Jerry Ramos have given him nor the senate or court any reasons for the impeachment. There also have been no facts presented as to why the proceedings should continue.

“Jerry Ramos is a hard worker and outstanding chief justice pro tem. He has been extremely professional throughout this whole thing,” Towns said.

Jerry Ramos confirmed that the impeachment proceedings are going on and that he is not apart of the meetings going on in the Judical Branch because of the impeachment proceedings have to do with him.

“I am concerned, but not worried about the impeachment proceedings. I don’t take it lightly though, it is a very serious accusation,” Ramos said.

Ramos added that in the April 30 meeting the move to impeach was not formally done in the proper steps to take action. It was not in the agenda like it is supposed to be. So at the last Wednesday’s meeting is was introduced formally to the senate by placing it on the agenda which was the apporiate steps taken to make such action.

He is confident that the senators will make the right decision in the matter on Wednesday when the senate meets.

Ramos has been apart of four elections and has had part in tallying the votes for each election.

Ramos was there the last night of the elections when the polls closed early.

“It wasn’t my decision to close the polls early. I had to call the other Chief Justices to let them no what had happened and that there was no need for them to come down to count the ballots,” Ramos said.

Dean Ackland in last Wednesday’s meeting also took responsibility for the polls closing early during the elections. He told the senate that Jerry Ramos had nothing to do with the polls closing early.

This Wednesday there will be a senate meeting to talk about the impeachment proceedings for Ramos and could be possibly be a closed session for the senate.

So far there has been no written evidence shown to the senate and it is expected to be shown to the senate at Wednesday’s meeting.
