Nice try puttin' lipstick on a pig, Marsee. You are beneath contempt for what you've done to CR.
I like the part in the Stockton article when Marsee describes working at CR as a "living nightmare." Why burn your bridges when you can blow your bridges up?
Your criticisms of the WCG have nothing to do with the fact that the Brown Act might have been broken. Who would would one go to for an investigation about this possible violation of State law?
I personally welcome the DA and the Chancellor's Office to investigate the many misdeeds at CR--most especially Marsee's and the Board's illegal misuse and hiding of publicly accountable funds. If Truett actually gets his request for a formal investigation, it will surely come back to bite him. He will come to regret his reactionary shortsightedness and his blind hatred of the institution he is supposed to protect.

An investigation into the awarding of the illegal no-bid contract to JAG architects for the Garberville site would be a start.
Re: “Marsee Reflects on Accomplishments as President of CR”
Watch out Delta College: your surplus will turn into a deficit before you know it. There's nothing Marsee loves to do more than to treat the taxpayer's money like its his own personal piggy bank.
