“Much of the alarm comes from misinformation fomented by our critics,” Pezzanite said, adding: “All library policies, including those about fines and fees, are created by the communities we serve. LSSI does not set policies or own any library assets. . . . It is difficult to sit on the sidelines while our company is being attacked and not be able to respond to false and misleading information.”
The claim that "false and misleading information" is being used against them is ironic from a company that has hired lobbyists to spin its case against the AB438 Bill that if passed will require a county to hold a public vote before deciding to outsource or privatise their library system!
