Blake Hooper did recuse himself, contrary to the entire premise of the article. Any minimally decent journalist would have watched the publicly available recording to validate this. At 7 min 50 seconds, you will see Blake Hooper recusing himself - please view the video at the link provided below. I assume, now that you know this information, you will take down this article as it is now debunked. https://cityofpetaluma.primegov.com/Portal/Meeting?meetingTemplateId=15290

Mr. Leland, thank you for providing this link as the City’s website is not user friendly. The recording links do not appear on my mobile device. I echoed the minutes supplied by staff, so I’d encourage you to request staff to proofread more thoroughly.

That being said, I will modify the headline accordingly. The premise of my article is regarding the conflicts witnessed through the intertwined local Democratic Party, affiliated NGO’s and the labor unions. Perhaps you didn’t actually read the article and financial omissions by Mr. Hooper?

Thank you & God bless.
