SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. – Just over a week after Mayor Tamara Wallace confessed in a letter to Tahoe Daily Tribune to embezzling from the church that employed her, Wallace has resigned from her position on the South Lake Tahoe City Council.
According to an article by South Tahoe Now, Wallace resigned on Monday, October 13 at 10:55 p.m. via email to City Manager Joe Irvin, City Clerk Susan Blankenship and City Attorney Heather Stroud.
