The San Marcos Ethics Commission issued a letter or reprimand after hearing a complaint filed against Parks and Recreation Board member Jordan Buckley by Park Ranger Loy Locke.
Wednesday, January 13, 2021
The City of San Marcos Ethics Review Commission set a hearing for an ethics complaint filed against Parks and Recreation Board member Jordan Buckley by Park Ranger Loy Locke.
Locke alleges that Buckley violated Article 5 of the Ethics Code Section 2.424 by making a false statement of material fact at a public meeting, referencing the Sept. 17, 2020 Parks Advisory Board meeting in his Ethics Violation Complaint form.
“In the meeting Board member Jordan Buckley stated he filed for a public records request and found three complaints against me concerning racism,” Locke wrote in the complaint. “Board member Jordan Buckley then accused me of being a racist. Later in the meeting Board Member Jordan Buckley accused me of being a racist several more times.”
