During the same period, Caliber also hired Sacramento lobbyist Darius Anderson, a friend of Davis and of Davis' wife with close tiesto the administration. According to lobbying reports, Caliber paid $27,000 to Anderson's firm, Platinum Advisers, between Jan. 1 and March 30. The money went to lobby the governor's office, the state attorney general's office, the Department of Consumer Affairs and the Bureau of Automotive Repair, the state office that licenses repair shops.
California has become a turd-whirled banana democracy.
