Fugazi ‘unilaterally’ disbands city manager search committee, despite lacking authority

MAYOR CHRISTINA FUGAZI has solely made the decision to dissolve an ad hoc committee established by City Council to help search for Stockton’s next permanent city manager. Council policy doesn’t give her that kind of unilateral decision-making power.

The mayor has also since publicly accused one of her fellow councilmembers of violating confidentiality rules and the state’s public meeting laws, which was met with denials and allegations that Fugazi has shown a pattern of going rogue.
