More Dirty Politicians In Sacremento

[bobabode]

"SACRAMENTO — State authorities Thursday imposed $40,000 in fines against Sen. Tom Berryhill (R-Modesto) and two GOP committees after finding that the lawmaker laundered that amount of political money into his brother's 2008 Assembly campaign.
The state Fair Political Practices Commission voted unanimously to uphold an administrative law judge's ruling that Berryhill committed a "serious and deliberate" violation of California's campaign finance laws.
The commissioners decided in a 20-minute closed session to include in the fines the Stanislaus County and San Joaquin County Republican central committees for their role as conduits in passing $40,000 from Berryhill to his brother's successful campaign.
"This case is about cheating in elections," said Gary Winuk, chief of enforcement for the FPPC. "The Berryhills intentionally violated the public's limits on campaign contributions to gain an unfair electoral advantage. This is one of the most significant cases we have prosecuted."

Good they can join the rest of the dems doing time. They might even start a pinochle tournament but don't expect them not to cheat. Only $40 grand hell the left is far better thefts.

Boy, these wingers just don't believe campaign finance rules apply to them.

Of course with Jerry at a 59% approval rate, this pretender hasn't a chance.

Looks like the 420 vote and the minimum wage vote will be on Alaska's November ballot. The Alaska senate and assembly took their eye off the ball. Instead of a special election in August, those two initiatives will be on the same ballot as Mark Begich. Things are looking rosy! Puff, puff.

And he's the Republican front-runner. What a rum lot!

Neither is gonna be a big draw. Weed is a non-issue. People been smoking freely up here for 40 years.
The percentage of workers at minimum wage is tiny. People make jack in Alaska, or they leave.
