Frietas has been running the show for an awful long time in Antioch. He’s become the defacto political boss
of the city, even to the point of where he is able to geting his pals city jobs. Having the same people year after year leads to corruption, which is why he’s been able to get his pals jobs wih the city, which is difficult to do at most Contra Costa Cities (due to civil service hiring practices). Voter’s would do well to make a change.

I checked the Council minutes on line, It was a 5/0 vote, that would be Freitas, Davis, Simonsen, Kowlinowski and Moore, and the reports says Antioch still has the lowest water rates in the county.

My other reason for jumping in now, was that the Council – including both Davis and Freitas – just voted in a $200,000 a year tax increase on Antioch taxpayers, through the water and sewer fees – without a vote of the people. The people have had enough.

Lisa,
Correction. I wasn’t the one “behind the hit piece on Don Freitas four years ago. I NEVER ADMITTED I WAS THE AUTHOR. I merely designed it for some individuals, who brought me information to put in it and paid to have it printed and mailed. I then emailed the artwork to the printer they chose and got them prices and checked into the legality of it being anonymous. They – and I’m only aware of three involved – chose and continue to choose to remain nameless, and I’ll respect that, as they are afraid of the repercussions from Freitas, since some are involved politically and others have property and business in Antioch. I knew I’d end up being the fall guy and that’s OK. I’m not afraid of Freitas, what he can say or do to me. My concern is what he’s done and not done for Antioch.
