Former Chula Vista City Councilwoman Andrea Cardenas, who was accused with her brother of fraudulently obtaining a loan for their political consulting business was in court Wednesday where they both changed their plea for some charges to guilty as part of a plea deal. By pleading guilty to some of the charges, several other felony counts were dropped. Andrea and Jesus will remain on formal probation until their sentencing, which is scheduled for summer. They face a maximum sentence of 3 years and 8 months but there is a chance of reduction in sentencing that will be determined at the next court date.
