TRACY — A grand jury report critical of the San Joaquin Delta College board of trustees may open the door for the college to build its south county campus, albeit a scaled-down version, in Tracy.
The seven-page report charges the board wasted millions of taxpayers' dollars and violated open-government laws by discussing closed-session matters outside its meetings, specifically regarding the college site in Mountain House.
Ted Simas, the only college trustee to return a phone call from the Herald, said the college continues to meet its contractual deadlines and has paid $1.1 million to the developer for infrastructure costs, yet there is "nothing'' at the proposed campus site currently.
"As of this day, we're being burned at Mountain House,'' Simas said. "If it was up to me, I would get out of there right now. If the Tracy deal was still on the table, I would be out of (Mountain House) in a heartbeat. I think any reasonable person would.''
