District 1 Councilmember Rosemary Kamei of San Jose has faced employee turnover, with three staffers leaving to work for colleague George Casey. Kamei requested their city email addresses to be changed, a departure from the norm where employees retain their city emails across departments. Kamei cited a 'glitch' causing excessive notifications but is under scrutiny for not addressing grave allegations against former councilmember Omar Torres, who faces serious charges. This unusual email directive has sparked concerns about Kamei's transparency and motives in the wake of accusations of negligence regarding child abuse.
Kamei's request for email changes is unusual and raises concerns about transparency, especially following her silence on serious allegations against a former councilmember.
Taber noted, 'Employees have historically kept their city-issued email addresses... even years after leaving and rejoining the city.'
Kamei claims the email change was due to a 'glitch' causing alert flooding, but insiders suspect it's a tactic to obscure communications about serious allegations.
The situation has provoked speculation about Kamei's motives given the scrutiny over her inaction regarding child sexual abuse claims linked to a colleague.
