San Bernardino County’s past continues to haunt us.  It is not corruption, at least not exactly, but we find that yet another former Chairman of the Board of Supervisors is making news.  This time we have to go back even further than Jerry Eaves to find the culprit.

Barbara Cram Riordan, a 1961 University of Redlands graduate, served on the San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors from 1983 until her third full term ended in 1996. Prior to her stint with the County of San Bernardino, she served on the Redlands City Council for four years.

Riordan was appointed to the California Air Resources Board in 1991 by then-Governor Pete Wilson, reappointed in 1999 by  former-Governor Gray Davis and again in 2004 by Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger.  She served as Chairman of the Air Resources Board twice for short periods of time.  She has also previously served on the Mojave Desert Air Quality Management District Board of Directors.
