Watch this and tell me that @valletlywater is not antisemitic. Even when I'm the board director to get it right, I'm still harassed. My elected position has zero to do with foreign affairs. Every meeting they exclude me during to "a conflict." They never say what the conflict is. But it's about genocide, right? @RebeccaEisenbe4 @JewsofSF @StopAntisemites @JewishDemWomen @USJewishDems
Should sexual predators receive $1.2 Million and Whistleblowers be censured? The Santa Clara Valley Water District Board thinks so. rle.medium.com/sexual-predat…

@ElanSmolar Sounds like A great place to visit. So happy for you
🕯️ Esta sinagoga no tiene electricidad. Nunca ha tenido electricidad. Cada viernes por la noche, el personal enciende más de mil velas a mano, y la habitación tiene exactamente como estaba en 1675.
La sinagoga portuguesa en Ámsterdam, conocida como Esnoga, fue construida por la comunidad judía sefardí que había huido de la Inquisición española y portuguesa y encontró refugio en los relativamente tolerantes Países Bajos. Cuando se completó en 1675, fue una de las sinagogas más grandes del mundo, y fue construida por una comunidad de personas que habían pasado generaciones escondiendo quiénes eran, obligadas a practicar su fe en secreto bajo amenaza de muerte.
El suelo de arena que cubre todo el interior es uno de sus rasgos más distintivos, y la razón de ello todavía se debate: algunos historiadores apuntan a la acústica, otros a las tradiciones de construcción holandesas de la época, y otros ven en ella una referencia a la errante del desierto Éxodo. Lo que no se debate es la luz. La decisión de nunca instalar electricidad fue deliberada, y el edificio sigue encendido hoy por 72 lámparas de aceite de latón y más de mil llamas de velas, tal como estaba el día en que se abrió. ✡️
Una comunidad que sobrevivió a la Inquisición escondiéndose construyó una de las sinagogas más magníficas del mundo en el momento en que fueron libres.

Once again my colleagues at @valleywater have locked me out of a Board meeting because of a "conflict." In violation of the Brown Act and other law, they refuse to tell me what the conflict is. Even with the corrupt District Counsel gone, the corruption continues. This is what it means to have a "systemic problem." #corruption #sexism #water #illegal #government #transparency @RebeccaEisenbe4
Here we see @valleywater stealing my podium and lying that they care about the San Francisquito Creek JPA and flood protection project. (Their official line is "there is no project" and they marked their financial support as "discretionary."). Actions speak louder than words.
At @valleywater's Board Budget Workshop, the CFO has refused to share the budget in spreadsheet form. This is a state special district with almost $1 billion in revenue from ratepayers and taxpayers, with a capital improvement program budget of $5-$10 billion.The public deserves details. @RebeccaEisenbe4
Once again @valleywater kicked me out of a Board Meeting. They did not allow me to speak on an agenda item where they all voted to spend more money on investigating yet another anonymous complaint against me, without ever telling me the nature of the complaint. When I tried to tell them that I may be happy to accommodate the demands of the complaint if I actually would be told what the complaints are. @RebeccaEisenbe4 Happy Birthday to me!
TIL that @valleywater is investigating me AGAIN (they won't say what for) and I thought it was an April Fool's Day Joke! Nope, it is serious, which is obvious because they always torture me on the most important Jewish Holidays, and tonight is the First Seder of Passover. Chag Pesach Sameach, chaverim v'mispuchah! xox @RebeccaEisenbe4

As I listen to staff's and the public's unanimous condemnation of my colleagues--including the women--for protecting and paying off the predatory CEO, I am reminded that these men are still censuring and suing ME for speaking out against them aka "abusiveness." #retaliation @RebeccaEisenbe4

Listening to the staff respond to the egregious and repulsive actions of my colleagues, I restate my demand that the District Counsel, who shepherded their outrageous and illegal actions, be removed. Valley Water's legal head has never met a victim he has not blamed for their abuse. #retaliation @RebeccaEisenbe4

Today I repeated that the District Counsel's protection of the predatory CEO, enforced with his malicious litigation against me, and his malicious litigation against me, is intimidating and threatening. In response, the District Counsel threatened me with claims of "Defamation." My colleagues still follow his legal "advice." #Retaliation

I demanded to my colleagues that staff and the public be given votes in choosing the new CEO. In response, the Chair banned me from participation in the hiring process because only those who back the CEO have a future on this Board. #Retaliation @RebeccaEisenbe4

Valley Water Chair chose my colleagues over me for a Committee to choose a new CEO because they (not I) will be "on the Board forever." Despite overwhelming demand from the public that my colleagues step down for protecting and paying off the predatory and corrupt CEO, this Chair still wants to remove me. Do you feel represented by this Board? Speak out today!

I demand that Valley Water include staff and the public in the hiring of the next CEO. The Board's history of bad choices of CEO has resulted in harm to numerous people. These people and the public deserve votes in the choice of next CEO. @RebeccaEisenbe4

I demand that Valley Water immediately pay for and provide private security protection for staff, witnesses, whistleblowers and all people being threatened by the CEO and his collaborators. @RebeccaEisenbe4

As I prepare for the 1 PM Meeting that many of you plan to attend, I continue to receive direct threats and hostility from both the CEO and the District Counsel. They call my demands for security "defamation." I am putting this out there in case anything happens to any of us. @RebeccaEisenbe4
