EXCERPT: CHULA VISTA - Sweetwater's Citizens' Bond Oversight Committee is accusing Superintendend Ed Brand of lacking "truth, transparency and thoroughness." On Thursday, it had a vote of no confidence against him.

     Nick Marinovich, the committee's chair, told San Diego 6 News, "[The committee] basically felt, over a series of months, the committee was not given enough information on a timely basis, that it was not thorough enough and that our committee was not taken seriously enough." He added, "We requested information on whether Proposition O funds were being used to fund borrowing, and it took literally months to get that information."

     Sweetwater Union High School District spokesman, Manuel Rubio, responded to the concerns. He said, "We've been working with the Prop. O Bond Oversight Committee throughout the whole process. We worked to provide information as best possible, but in some cases we work in the limits we have with the information."...
