Manchester Board of Directors member Jerald Lentini will sue Trump Administration minutes after inauguration over DOGE transparency.
Manchester’s Jerald Lentini is fighting for sunlight. Lentini is one of two lead plaintiffs seeking the murky “Department of Government Efficiency” (DOGE) to comply with the rules that apply to all federal advisory agencies. Transparency will likely be an obstacle in the incoming Trump administration as it begins its mission of retribution. The lawsuit is expected to be filed shortly after noon on Monday.
The Washington Post reported Monday morning:
The DOGE lawsuit lists as its primary co-plaintiffs Jerald Lentini, a local elected official in Connecticut and an attorney for National Security Counselors who sent an application to join Musk’s group, and Joshua Erlich, who owns an employment law firm that regularly represents federal employees. Erlich also filed an application to join DOGE, which stated he was applying because the body “does not currently have an individual who will speak on behalf of government workers and their interests,” the lawsuit states. Both applications were ignored.
The transparency rules that apply to federal advisory committees are determined by what they do, not what they say they do.
Lentini is one of nine members, including the mayor, serving on Manchester’s Board of Directors.
