Generated summary AI-assisted

Ana Maille expresses concerns regarding the lack of salary disclosure for California Waste Solutions CEO David Duong and the company's revenue transparency. She questions the validity of a contract with the city of San Jose that extends until 2036, especially in light of Duong's federal charges for alleged bribery involving a former Oakland mayor. Maille argues that these issues should prevent any consideration of a rate increase by the city.

Key points
  • David Duong, CEO of California Waste Solutions, does not publicly disclose his salary.
  • There is a lack of transparency regarding the company's actual revenue.
  • San Jose has a contract with Duong until 2036.
  • Duong has been federally charged for allegedly bribing former Oakland Mayor Sheng Thao.
  • Maille questions the consideration of a rate increase by San Jose given these issues.

California Waste Solutions CEO, David Duong, does not publicly disclose his salary. Why? We do not know what the company's actual revenue is. Why? Yet the city of San Jose has a contract with him until 2036. This lack of transparency is inexcusable. On top of this, he has recently been federally charged for allegedly bribing former Oakland Mayor Sheng Thao and her boyfriend. How can the city of San Jose even consider a rate increase with these issues? Thank You, Ana Maille This message is from outside the City email system.
