The California Department of Education (CDE) is in charge of direct oversight of Chicano Federation.
Sandip Kaur, appointed by Tom Torlakson as Director of Nutrition Services of the California Department of Education in 2012, seems to have some strange ideas about exactly how "oversight" should be conducted.
When I sent Sandip Kaur a copy of a letter from Chicano Federation that threatened me with legal action for complaining to the CDE, I got no response from CDE to my complaint. Tom Torlakson and Sandip Kaur seem to agree with Chicano Federation that a citizen should not be allowed to complain about how USDA funds are handled!

My conversation at noon April 29, 2014 with Chicano Federation CEO Raymond Uzeta
(Mr. Uzeta returned my call to Pam Portillo.)
I asked a question about the Child Nutrition Program.
"We don't provide that information. What else can I help you with?"
"Do you feel that you helped me with that question?"
"Is that the only question you have?"
"Not by a long shot...I have concerns about the professionalism of your Child Nutrition Program."
"Where did you get those concerns? You need facts."
"That's why I'm calling. I'm trying to get facts."
"Where did you get your suspicions? Did you just wake up one day and feel suspicious?"
"I am not going to reveal my sources. You get federal money so you should be revealing information."
"I don't thing this conversation is going to go anywhere. I have someone waiting at the door...Bye." He hung up.
