Bills have been posted on the district website since
2017 as part of the meeting agendas. At
the time, I told Capizzi and the board that I OPRA the bills each month and
post them for the public. The bills are public
records. Bills are voted on by the board each month. Lodi taxpayers pay the bills. I argued that the bills should be included on
the meeting agendas and the more transparency the better. Lodi took a step forward and began posting
more public information on the district website.
Nancy Cardone is undoing every stride towards
transparency. Bills have now been
removed from meeting agendas (the reason why I am posting them again).
It’s bad to hide public information. It’s even worse to go out of your way to remove
public records that had been posted for years.
Board members should answer for their bad actions. When you see Nancy Cardone, ask her: what is
your reasoning for removing the bills, records for hearing of citizens, labor agreements, etc.? What is your reasoning for having your
administration violate OPRA and deny public records that have been provided for
years like things so basic as a detailed budget, legal invoices, electronically
submitted public comments, etc.? Why did
you eliminate all work session meetings which are open to the public (governed by the Open Public Meeting Act) and supposedly replace them with “committee”
meetings closed to the public?
If you don’t see Nancy Cardone and would like answers, you reach out to her by email.
