A public record is a receipt. Every dollar your district spends leaves one. Ask for the records. Read the records. Publish the records. #209Audit

MCCD missed its October 7 records deadline. No letter, no email in seven days of inbox. The law gives agencies ten days to say yes or no. MCCD said nothing. Silence is its own answer. #209Audit

MCOE denied my September 13 records request as overbroad. Their search of the superintendent's emails for FCMAT and Richard Lopez found zero records. They invited a narrowed request. A denial is still an answer. #209Audit #Transparency

Stanislaus County just paid $5 million to settle a wrongful death and excessive force lawsuit. Taxpayer money buying silence instead of accountability. The public deserves the use of force reports and the vote that approved it. #209Audit

California's new anti doxxing law for immigrant aid workers just drew a federal free speech lawsuit. A journalist says it chills reporting on public interest stories. Supporters say it protects frontline workers from threats. The court gets to decide. #209Audit

October 7 is a deadline on my calendar, not a headline. Two records answers are due: the MCOE succession files I requested September 13, and the MCCD determination. A deadline is the one promise a records law makes. Tomorrow we count. #209Audit

The district's calendar says one thing. The receipts say another. Five dates, two columns, one contradiction per row. CPRA hands you both columns. I just line them up. That is what the 209 Audit does every day. #209Audit #CPRA

FBI arrested a Chinese foreign agent at LAX today. Wanying Zhang, 34, an Irvine realtor, was boarding a flight to Shanghai. First court appearance Monday. Watch what the DOJ does next. #209Audit

The suit is written up. They fired a nine year substitute and counseling intern with no reason on paper, and the receipts have been piling up ever since. Illegally Fired was never just a podcast title. #209Audit

Oct 7 is the deadline. MCOE and MCCD owe the public an answer on the superintendent succession records I requested on Sep 13. The law gives them 10 days. Tuesday is day ten. Who knew what, and when, before the vote. #209Audit

FBI arrested Irvine realtor Wanying Zhang at LAX today. Charged as an unregistered agent of Beijing. She allegedly surveilled a relative of Taiwan's president in Seattle last year. Tradecraft. No disclosure. First court appearance tomorrow. The affidavit is the receipt. #209Audit

Wednesday is Oct 7. Two records deadlines land the same day: MCOE owes a determination on my Sept 13 succession-records request, and MCCD's is due too. Succession records show who picked the next superintendent before voters ever voted. #209Audit

Three minutes at the podium. Unfiltered, on the record. The critic gets three minutes. The board's friend gets three minutes. The timer is the only neutral party in the room. Use your minutes. #209Audit

Absence is a vote. Count the empty chairs in a year of board minutes: some members show up every time, some only when the cameras are on. The roster is a public record. Read it like one. #209Audit

Loyalty is cheap. Every board has a voting bloc, but a records request doesn't care who you know. The ledger survives the audit. Party lines don't. #209Audit #Accountability

Most ordinances need two readings to become law. The window between first and second reading is where a bad ordinance gets killed. Almost nobody watches that window. Show up between the votes, not after. #PublicRecords #209Audit

November matters. Read the audits, not the endorsements. Taxpayers deserve clean books. I back Lopez. #209Audit #MCOE

Skip the debate clips if you want to know who runs your county. Read the warrant register, the closed-session minutes, the vendor list. Speeches tell you who's performing. Ledgers tell you who's in charge. #PublicRecords #209Audit

Delta made a different business call. And the richest man alive is using his own platform to punish them for it.

BMO just cut Delta's price target, for good measure.

Today AAA has it at $4.48. A normal Biden year sat closer to $3.50.

The Ukraine spike was uglier than this week’s gallon, but the war in the Gulf has already pushed prices back above most of the Biden years.
