Won't be voting for Gillette

I attended my first Triunfo Sanitation District Board meeting on Sept. 18 with a friend. I live in Thousand Oaks, and was very surprised by the behavior of City Councilman Dennis Gillette, who sits on the board.

Mr. Gillette announced at the start of the meeting that his time was limited because he had an important meeting to go to. Prior to leaving, he seemed uncomfort- able, even agitated, with some questions from Ventura County Supervisor Linda Parks about an audit of the district. During the discussion between the two, I saw that Mrs. Parks conducted herself in a very professional manner.

Mr. Gillette then went on to say how things on the Triunfo board have never been the same since something happened four years ago, without saying what that something was. I wonder if he meant when Supervisor Parks joined the board? Shortly after, he picked up his things and walked out. He did not ask the chair to be excused or apologize. He did not leave in a polite way, but like someone who was quite angry.

To me, his actions were very unprofessional. Is this how Mr. Gillette acts when he is not being videotaped at a Thousand Oaks City Council meeting?

After attending this meeting, I am not voting for Dennis Gillette for T.O. City Council. He did not represent my city very well at this board meeting. Manuel Cuizon Thousand Oaks
