In a recent government meeting, community member Mr. Gwynn expressed his concerns regarding local governance and accountability, particularly highlighting the recent swearing-in of Carla Maio. Gwynn criticized the practice of self-approved pay raises among officials, arguing that such decisions should involve public input. He emphasized that elected officials are meant to serve the public and should seek approval from constituents before making financial decisions that affect taxpayers.
Gwynn drew a parallel between the lack of public consultation on pay raises and criminal behavior, stating, \"That's like somebody going out and robbing a bank... and it's not.\" He urged the board to consider the importance of public opinion in governance, asserting that the community should have a say in decisions that impact their finances and well-being.
Following Gwynn's remarks, Megan Grevey, the General Services Director, introduced the new fleet manager, Luis Ochoa, who brings over 22 years of military logistics experience. Grevey expressed optimism about Ochoa's ability to enhance Solano County's fleet management and service to the community.
The meeting concluded with a vote on the agenda, which passed unanimously. The discussions underscored ongoing concerns about transparency and public engagement in local government decisions.
