Letter to the Editor: West Basin Municipal Water District

Dear 2UrbanGirls
Please don’t forget this with the virus and other corruption news in Inglewood. Gloria Gray and Patrick Sheilds have taken over West Basin during the pandemic and have complete control of the office staff and board. No one can go against her without retribution.
She works with the good old boys network at Metropolitan, not on behalf of the underserved communities she represents. Check Gray’s per diems where she gets paid for phone calls without attending meetings in person. At Metro she has a personal assistant, Elisa Mendez, and at least two drivers. Her relative Michael Ector works for Metro and there could be others.
West Basin GM Patrick Shields wife Meg gave Gray $1000 for her 2009 Assembly campaign. Mr. Shields has a documented history of a sexual harassment settlement that have become public knowledge.

Gray is a constant defender of his inappropriate behavior and management. There may be lawsuits coming and West Basin employees are scared. Gray hates bad press and only likes the limelight.
Corrupt plain and simple.
Two drivers? While Inglewood people don’t have jobs? She should know better!
