This comes hot on the heels of a damning state attorney general report alleging waste, misconduct, and even assault by former board members—including Debbie Settoon, who resigned in February citing dysfunction. The report claims Settoon leaked sensitive info and assaulted Rondeno in 2025 during a blocked meeting; Rondeno later dropped those charges. Settoon’s calling the report a “hatchet job” and denies the assault. With a new chief urgently needed and serious allegations swirling, the future of the authority is anything but clear.
