Oakley councilmember refuses to step down despite censure vote, calls for resignation
"The action signifies my courage, honor, integrity, transparency, and commitment to the people of the city of Oakley when faced with an oppressive environment, Fuller said in a statement Tuesday."
"While no specific details have been released regarding the allegations made against Fuller, the censure noted that members of the City Council are bound by state law, Oakley's Code of Conduct, and ethical obligations to treat city staff, residents, and fellow officials with respect, fairness, and professionalism."
"I am supposed to trust that my colleagues would not mislead me as to the results. No, I do not trust their summation of the report alone, said Fuller."
Oakley City Council voted 4-1 to formally censure Councilmember George Fuller and called for his immediate resignation amid allegations of bullying and retaliatory actions against city staff. The censure referenced obligations under state law and Oakley’s Code of Conduct and urged Fuller to pursue professional development on harassment prevention and ethics. An independent third-party investigation reportedly sustained findings against Fuller, but Fuller rejected those findings and criticized the City Attorney and fellow councilmembers for denying him access to the investigation report. The city has not released the investigation report or detailed allegations publicly. Fuller was reelected to the council in 2024.
