Is this the same City of Hanford department head that was acting as a free-lance consultant at the same time as working full-time for the City?! Actively assisting clients in other jurisdictions than Hanford while on City time? How did THAT contract ever get approved? Makes one wonder.

A CITY COUNCIL MEMBER IS NOT AN ATTORNEY! SEEMS LIKE VALLEY VOICE NEEDS TO FIX ITS REPORTING INSTEAD PUBLISH FALSE INFORMATION.

Both side of this issue need To resolve reasonably , peaceful and with dignity. To not discredit each other to prove a point, although I do respect the notion of a woman for any position (If the shoes fit buy them) I always say. Any Harassment is not permissible in any way Or means, if we as a society are ever going to get along charges need To be made in a positive manner, remember there’s still a lot of people that still need to be educated.

Why are you stuck on that there was an investigation regarding the vote when even before this release it was stated it was regarding comments made? The vote is clearly irrelevant. If an investigation was conducted for the city, it was likely a third unbiased party who conducted it who would have also interviewed the former councilman as well…which is likely why there are quotations to show direct comments from him. When one needs to take litigation against their employer, do they hire their employer’s attorney? No! They hire their own. Either way, it will be made public knowledge eventually because it involves public employees, so I’m sure we’ll all find out for sure when the findings are released.

An investigation? So they asked people what they said all all came together to lie? Is he recorded saying these statements. Very specific and detailed statement to remember word for word. Very suspicious. And for Mata attorney to totally dismiss Mata illegally hiring a personal attorney to investigate city council vote is wrong. The city still needs to address Mata action. The city of Hanford has a paid attorney and it violated city conduct for a city employee to hire an attorney to investigate city council vote. FACT
