Board member says he has requested investigative reports and believes a state statute may have been violated
Summary
Board member Mr. Edwards told the public he believes a state statute was violated and that he requested investigative reports from administration 6–8 weeks earlier; he said he needs those reports to proceed with his responsibilities as a constitutional officer.
During board-member remarks after the tentative-budget vote, Mr. Edwards said, for the public record, that he believes a state statute was violated and that he had requested investigative reports from the administration about six to eight weeks earlier.
"As a constitutional officer, I need to, for the public record, say that I believe there was a state statute that was violated," Mr. Edwards said. He added he was waiting for the requested reports "in order for me to proceed as a constitutional officer." When the chair asked him to clarify which statute he meant, Edwards replied he had said what he needed to say and declined further clarification at that time.
No investigative details or specific statute were identified on the record during the meeting; the matter remains unresolved in the public record pending production of the reports Mr. Edwards referenced.
