OMG. I know many of the people named in this story and I can't believe they would be this sloppy.
Not that the Union-Trib would tell their readers, but Roberts is a (shhhh!) democrat. If this had been a Republican, the R word would have appeared in every paragraph.
Charles Lewis was one of the three city councilmen indicted over the "stripper-gate" bribery scandal. He died (last year?) before he could be convicted.
The other two, Inzunza and Zucchet, were convicted several months ago, although a federal judge threw out the jury convictions against Zucchet yesterday, dismissing seven counts and ordering a new trial for the other two counts.
Had embattled twit Murphy (R) not colluded with surfer chick Frye (D) to produce her write-in candidacy, Roberts (R) would've been mayor and the people of San Diego would not have had to have three mayoral elections in the same one year period! Instead Murphy won narrowly and then resigned. And what do we get? We get two insiders in Frye and Sanders. More of the politics as usual here in America's Sleazy City.
I notice the campaign is being fined when it seems the people who donated would've had to provide the campaign false or misleading donor information.
Now, when is the ethics commission going to come down on the pro-Frye "independent expenditures" from the union goons which never got reported?
