Members of the Anaheim City Council are calling on Mayor Harry Sidhu to resign after learning he’s the subject of an FBI corruption probe. The investigation became known through an FBI affidavit filed Monday in Orange County Superior Court.

At a City Council meeting Tuesday, Councilmenber Avelino Valencia called the alleged actions “extremely disheartening.”
