Dispatch "CUSD Trustees knew
that Jim Fleming was actively involved in fighting
the recall and voted to fund an investigation into
matters which they knew to have occurred that cost
taxpayers over $35,000! ... included in the
[Waldrip] report is an April 21, 2005 memo written
by James Fleming addressed to Marlene Draper and
the entire CUSD Board entitled the “Report on
presumed recall effort” that referred to the
parent list, and included a report from a “mole”
that infiltrated the recall group. The Trustees
continued to support Jim Fleming until he retired
in disgrace in August 2006, and subsequently voted
to pay Fleming’s criminal legal defense fees.
Trustees Draper, Benecke, Darnold and Stiff refuse
to acknowledge that they knew Jim Fleming was
illegally fighting the recall. The self-serving
“independent” investigation concluded that the
only crime that might have occurred was the
leaking of documents by
Smollar!"
