Garcia's comment before 'no comment'

In my story today, I wrote that Board President Leon Garcia had no comment about why he wants to take a look at the spending policies among directors on the Upper San Gabriel Valley Municipal Water District. But before he told me that, we had this exchange when I asked him why he brought up the discussion of wanted to change the board's policy.

His response: "Jennifer, you've got to be kidding me. You guys published an article -- Is this on the record?"

Me: "Yes."

Garcia: "No comment." Click.

Today's article comes nearly two months after I wrote a story that detailed expenses among water board members in 12 districts. Garcia and Water Replinishment District of Southern California director Willard Murray racked in the highest expenses for travel, meeting attendance and meal costs.

Expect more water stories.
