Delgaudio was censured by the Board of Supervisors after a lengthy grand jury investigation into his misconduct.
The grand jury found “… that Delgaudio directed his legislative aides “not to answer the phones or address constituent concerns and instead focus on other priorities.” The witnesses also reported incidents in the office involving “acts of verbal abuse that on multiple occasions brought his aides to tears” and led to their departures.
In one instance, a witness told the jury Delgaudio’s aides were told by their boss to report directly to an executive assistant of Public Advocate of the United States, a so-called conservative, nonprofit organization Delgaudio founded. Public Advocate has been designated an anti-gay “hate group””
