Judge Weiner of the San Mateo County Court has issued a judgement in favor of Neighbors for Better Water and has declared them the winner of the 2019 board election.
In her judgement, Judge Weiner states that the previous board acted in “bad faith” by denying shareholders the right to vote who were late in paying their bills, but only those shareholders that voted for Neighbors for Better Water. She also states that the shareholders Hill, Macias, Chaudhari and Pekary are installed as board members.
The current board of the water company is appealing the decision, and so the judgement is stayed on appeal and does not yet take effect.
