El Monte keeps report hidden

Well, another week has passed and it looks like El Monte doesn’t have plans to talk about an investigative report that was prepared by staff looking into allegations that Mayor Ernie Gutierrez showed up at a city event drunk.

City Manager Jim Mussenden received the report more than a week ago, and said that he would decide whether to place the item on the agenda for public discussion. But a review of this week’s agenda shows that there won’t be any discussion on the item. Has Mussenden read it and decided it’s not important? I’ll find out later today.
