Unethical Practices and lack of civility

By Richard Wright

The Union-Tribune best captured the sad state of affairs at CWD in an editorial entitled, "Public Disservice-Otay Water District Abused for Personal Gain."(See below)

I will facilitate civility and a spirit of cooperation among board members and implement a policy of ethical behavior for the District. It is essential for board members to work together to address the difficult problems that lie ahead as we endeavor to get the District back to a smoothly running operation. Other jurisdictions in East County have created programs emphasizing ethical practices in government. OWD has a similar policy, but it is largely ignored.
