Today, I was notified that the School Ethics Commission denied Licata’s Motion to Dismiss Counts 1
and 4. Count 1 involves the most
serious abuse.
The Lodi Board of Education voted to get Licata an
attorney and pay her with Lodi tax dollars.
The taxpayers of Lodi should be outraged.
Licata and his attorney submitted a large packet
arguing for the dismissal of all four counts.
I replied with a responsive brief arguing against the
dismissal of Counts 1, 2, and 4. Count 3
was a clear ethics violation but I acknowledge that it did not fall with the
180 days of my filing.
I am disappointed that Count 2 was dismissed as “untimely”
because I clearly showed that Licata was in violation for 2016 as well as 2015. Why have financial disclosure statements if
they don’t count?
I believe in transparency. The public has the right to know what is
before the Commission. Below is the
responsive brief I provided. Showing is
page 1, followed by a link to the entire brief.
