Recalling Dublin Decision Makers: Letter To The Editor

By Bobby Khullar on behalf of Dubliners United

DUBLIN, CA--- On Tuesday, December 5th a newly formed PAC began the processes to recall Dan Cunningham from Dublin Unified Board of Trustees and Abe Gupta from Dublin City Council.

This is the first step in a process that would help address chronic school overcrowding and the overbuilding of high density housing in Dublin.

The next steps, are to have this notice vetted with the Alameda County Election office and then begin the signature gathering process. An estimated 5,800 signatures will be needed to get this recall on the June or November 2018 ballots. There may be more school board officials noticed.

DUSD School Board Trustee - Dan Cunningham was served with a recall notice by Bobby Khullar, who addressed the following:

Mr. Cunningham has demonstrated bad behavior, conflicts with teachers, residents, refusing to listen to DUSD constituents, and violating open meeting laws. Trustee Cunningham lacks decorum and has verbally abused concerned speakers during board meetings ..

Dublin Councilman - Abe Gupta was served with a recall notice by Dublin resident Rosel Trolan, which addressed the following:

Councilman Abe Gupta has failed to uphold campaign promises for which he was elected in 2014. Originally he opposed rezoning commercial property to residential stating that he wanted to stop "focusing on building houses and instead build a vibrant commercial community” and that it is "important that Dublin retain its small-town charm”. Gupta stated he didn't support vesting of non-vested properties during his campaign, and yet has since voted in favor of numerous large scale/ high- density projects.

Additional Recalls:
Possible additional recall of City Council members due to their continued votes to vest more housing units and rezone parcels from commercial to housing are in consideration.

Possible additional recall of School Board Trustees for their lack of transparent prioritization of measure H funds and continuing to increase capacity on impacted Dublin schools.
