Description
Mr. Craig Pina, a member of the Zoning Board of Appeals, has slandered my efforts, my neighbors' efforts and the efforts of two of my city councilors for voicing our opinion at a recent public meeting concerning a proposed development on Summer Street in Campello. Mr. Pina has resorted to posting memes about elected officials and candidates for office that violate any semblance of the ethical conduct expected of a person who represents the City of Brockton. A cursory review of Facebook will uncover his disregard for the reputation of Brockton as a City of Champions. His conduct is not limited to this particular incident and will show a pattern of beahvior harmful to the City. I am requesting that the Board Chair Mr. Galligan and the Mayor investigate this matter and begin the process of removal, by first asking him to step down from the Board, and then if necessary, to have him removed. If Mr. Pina wants to exercise free speech, let him do it as a private citizen. Brockton is better than this.

Thank you all for your insightful comments. Since reported to the Mayor's office, the response to me via email was that the Law Department would look into this.I have had no additional response. I have asked other people who have been appointed to boards about their experiences, and other than receiving information about the state's conflict of interest law, little information is shared. In addition, at the recent budget hearings, the head of the city HR Department indicated that there is no employee handbook in place. This is shocking to me in a $450 million dollar municipal corporation. Here is a link to what the ASPA (American Society for Public Administration) suggests as appropriate conduct guidelines, which may be of interest: https://www.aspanet.org/ASPA/About-ASPA/Code-of-Ethics/ASPA/Code-of-Ethics/Code-of-Ethics.aspx?hkey=fefba3e2-a9dc-4fc8-a686-3446513a4533
If I receive any information via email I will update this file, or ask the city to do the same.
