As you recall, on the Fort Bend Herald's issue of May 9th, 2013, Kathryn Kaminski stated that she "disavowed the Whistle PAC...that the contribution of $5,000 (if not more) would not buy them (Whistle PAC) anything from her...running as an independent candidate".
Well, her transparency showed last night, Tuesday, May 21st, 2013, as her first action as Board Trustee for Di...strict 1 was nominating Dar Hakimzadeh as Board Secretary. Mr. Hakimzadeh, Board Trustee for District 5, was caught numerous times by the Richmond Police Department accompanying Rodney Vannerson with the Whistle PAC who has been charged with a mischief for removing Candidates Campaign Signs.
People in the audience were taken by surprise...and whispers started going around, "Can you say, bought by the Whistle PAC?" The motion failed as they only had 2 votes (Kaminski and Hakimzadeh). Anna Gonzales nominated Frank Torres as Board Secretary...motion passed with 5 votes in favor (Thompson, Zacharias, Gonzales, Torres, and Danziger).
Many constituents are stating that Hakimzadeh should resign due to many ethic violations (according to the Board Operating Procedures). Last year, Hakimzadeh accused Sam Hopkins and/or Michael Richard of serving on LCISD Committees before being elected to the Board (false allegations)....Hakimzadeh stated it was a "conflict". However, he fully supports Kaminski, a long time business vendor with LCISD to have a contract. What happened with "conflict"? Some people would say, he's being a hypocrite.
In addition, people are stating that Lamar CISD should "cancel / void" the After School Day Care contract that was offered to the Gingerbread House Day Care as Kaminski is the primary owner and operator... including Tiny Steps Educational Center (which is owned and operated by Kaminski's daughter Cindy Gifford).
Many people in the community see this as a MAJOR CONFLICT of a business vendor also serving as a Board Trustee.
