> The workplace misconduct report details allegations that Callender sent late-night texts to subordinates, including one message reading, “Showered yet? Just playing.” In another message, he reportedly wrote, “I’ll believe it when I smell it.”

> Other allegations made in the misconduct investigation included repeated comments on an employee’s appearance and personal life. Investigators found that Callender told her a dress “fit nicely,” suggested multiple times that they should get married and asked her whether she was dressing up to impress someone “on the side” or make her partner jealous. He’d asked if she had ever “been with” an African American man.

> The report also found that he told the same employee that there was a rumor that they were having an affair and “helped spread this rumor by disclosing it to other personnel.” He also had sent this employee inappropriate photos, including one centered on his clothed lap and another photo of a woman in a bikini, the report said.

>In a statement, board chair Tony Estremera lauded Callender for leading the agency for years.

>“His tenure is defined by integrity, transparency, and mission-driven leadership focused on safe, reliable water and responsible stewardship of our resources,” Estremera wrote in the statement released on Feb. 20. “At no time was Mr. Callender disciplined or forced to resign or retire due to any reported investigations.”

What did these board members who said stuff like this or signed an agreement to not say anything bad about this guy get out of that deal?

Everyone but the board member who refused to sign the deal to keep quiet should be thrown out.

They're known as team players and when they need it, others will back them up.
