The East Bay Municipal Utility District Board has temporarily elected an interim vice president to replace Director April Chan while an investigation unfolds regarding her alleged racially-charged confrontation with artist Tiffany Conway-Cornelius over a parking space. Chan's supporters, who claim the situation is politically motivated due to her being the only Asian director, rallied during a heated meeting, criticizing her removal. They argue this incident is emblematic of broader racial tensions and represents an assault on the Asian community's voice in local governance.
More than 20 speakers defended Chan's character and criticized the directors' actions as politically- or racially-motivated, since Chan is the only Asian director on the board.
You have an incident in a parking lot over a parking spot that has been politicized to target somebody who's representing over 200,000 constituents in her district.
