FALL RIVER, Mass. — The Fall River City Council will hold a special meeting Wednesday night to discuss the details of an upcoming recall election for the city's embattled mayor.
Mayor Jasiel Correia again refused to step down last week despite facing federal charges in connection to an app he helped develop.
Correia has denied the charges against him.
"I want to just continue doing my job and being the great mayor that I believe I can continue to be," Correia said previously. "And with the people's support, I'll stay in office. So I don't get weary, I just wake up and try to do the best job I can."
He's facing federal fraud charges and pleaded not guilty to a 13-count indictment back in October.
