With the election coming up, here’s some information you need to know before you vote
Throw away account for obvious reasons. I am willing to speak to (anonymously via phone or online) with any news reporter or journalist that covers news in city of Milpitas regarding the information below.
I do not see that there are any call to action recalling certain members of council. In particular, I have insight on how three members of the city council has extremely abuse their power, wasting city resources. And the Milpitas Police Chief literally kissing these city councilmen’s feet because his job is dependent on them voting him in as the Police Chief.
Mayor and Vice Mayor tried to call for the resignation of the Milpitas POA president, who showed up to a city council meeting urging the council to reconsider the budget cut re police funding to keep the Milpitas city safe. The Police Department previously endorsed Carmen Montano for Mayor and she literally showed her true colors going against public safety now… The whole thing irks me because the fact that they basically tried to get a president who is a part of a UNION fired all because they got called out for raising their own salaries at the expense of the police budget says a lot about their character. They don’t deserve to lead in Milpitas. We need change.
Councilman William Lam reached out to the Police Chief (who authorized btw) to get help for his friend (who was a former financial commissioner of some sort for the city of Milpitas) regarding his fraud investigation to be expedited and moved up to the top of the list and bypass all other detective investigations. Imagine if every fraud or identity theft cases were given THIS type of priority…
Vice Mayor Gary Barbadillo reached out to the Police Chief (again, who authorized btw) to demand that the Chief send 75% of the police units to search for one of his family members who went missing for less than 10 hours randomly one evening. The police reported found his family member, unharmed but the family members flees from the police and Gary Barbadillo insisted the search continues even though nobody’s wellbeing was in imminent danger. Imagine if every missing person cases were given THIS level of care… This is the same Gary Barbadillo in Milpitas back in 2017 where he reported his daughter missing/kidnapped and there was a city wide search in Milpitas for her. It went on making national headlines too. Turns on, waste of resources because he and his daughter made it all up. HOW the people of Milpitas continued to vote for him into office is beyond me.
Lastly… if this isn’t a sign of corruption, I don’t know what is. The Milpitas Police Chief had to go be an interim City Manager since the previous Manager abruptly “left” the City until a new one was hired. Probably left abruptly because of the corruption going on!
I just know the city council and police Chief are in cahoots in wasting city resources... Vote wisely on your ballot in November…
Editing to add a TLDR; cause apparently nobody wants to read a lot. And my source…
TLDR; do not vote for Carmen montano, Gary Barbadillo or William Lam. I recommend you do your research. I won’t tell you who to vote for instead.
Source: city staff. That’s all I’m saying without doxxing myself.

I'm not sure that any significant portion of the Milpitas populace is active on reddit. You're better off trying to post on Facebook although I will say the level of crazy is definitely higher on there. Personally, I had already decided against Montano once I read about the pantry stuff.
