The Fullerton City Council Leak: A Breach of Trust and Brown Act Violation
Three days ago, the Fullerton City Council convened an emergency meeting, but their discussions were swiftly undermined when confidential information about the upcoming departure of City Manager Eric Levitt was leaked. This breach of confidentiality sparked serious concerns about ethical conduct and legal compliance, with council members Ahmad Zhara and Shawna Charles under suspicion.
The Brown Act, which ensures the transparency of local legislative bodies, was violated, eroding public trust. The leak is suspected to have come from Ahmad Zara and/or Shawna Charles, who have personal ties to individuals at the Fullerton Observer. This raises concerns about transparency, an issue that both council members frequently discuss but consistently fail to uphold.
This incident highlights the need for greater accountability and transparency within the Fullerton City Council, namely Zhara and Charles, including stricter enforcement of confidentiality, training on ethical conduct, and clear consequences for violations. The public deserves representatives who uphold the highest standards of integrity and professionalism.
Not surprising.
Good luck enforcing any of that.
And good riddance to the squishy amorphous Leavitt.
Zahra and Charles are highly unethical stooges. It would be justice to see them both charged and in jail!
Ffs. Leaking information (who/why unproven but you are always ready to accuse) is a violation of transparency?
What the fuck are you even trying to say?
Do you even know what the word “leak” means? It means being more transparent than some rule tries to prevent.
The mouth on you Johnny Boy! Do you kiss your mother with that dirty hole?
What was leaked and when?
