One of the persons who filed the complaint was on the board and left it. The reason I know this is the FPPC disclosed the anonymous complainants' names by mistake.
It is people like this who discourage great people, like Donna, from volunteering their time and contributing their extensive expertise. So instead you may get people who may have far more extensive conflicts that may not be as provable (as in people who serve on a board knowing they'll soon have business before it, and do recuse themselves when their project comes up, but still benefit from having gotten closer to fellow board members). This is a very small town, and it's HARD to find people who have something to contribute but absolutely no conflicts of interests.
You can be legally perfectly correct, but still absolutely WRONG. That is the case here. Shows a lack of judgment/discernment and ethics. Feeling smuggy?
....I think that Donna got treated like crap and is owed $4,000 (her fine, plus some compensation!) for her troubles, hard to believe the vindictiveness! We live in small towns and don't need 'big city' treatment for a genuine persons want or need to HELP!....
My wish is that the person who filed the complaint will take her spot on the Board. Then experience what is like to try to do good for your community but get punished for it.
Great Balanced Reporting.
Making the facts easy to understand.
Thank You
