Grand Terrace City Councilman Jim Miller waived his right to a preliminary hearing in San Bernardino County Superior Court today.
The move sets the stage for an immediate jury trial on a single count of conflict of interest by a public officer, a felony.
The move follows a formal rejection of a plea offer of a single misdemeanor count that would require Miller to resign from office.
Miller was charged by District Attorney Michael Ramos for voting to approve what is referred to as a check disbursement register that is routinely placed on the Grand Terrace City Council consent calendar.
