Hews Media Group-Community News has obtained a lawsuit filed in the California Central US District Court claiming that former US Labor Secretary Hilda Solis, a current candidate for the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors, was provided thousands of dollars worth of free private jet travel without declaring the trips on the federal government required forms, paid for by the powerful International Union of Operating Engineers based in Pasadena during the same period she was undergoing confirmation hearings to become part of President Barack Obama’s Cabinet.....

William Waggoner with Hilda Solis. The lawsuit accuses Solis of not reporting flights to the Federal Elections Commission on the Union’s jet. HMG-CN was provided with flight logs that detail the plane trips that lasted in some cases less than five minutes between Ontario and El Monte, costing thousands of dollars.
The case is currently making its way through the court system and is before Judge Dean D. Pregerson.
Sources close to the case tell HMG-CN that Solis was given transportation on IUOE Local 12′s Cessna Citation XL Jet and that Solis failed to report the in-kind gift to the Federal Election Commission as required under law.

Heard this woman speak at a conference. She’s a racist piece of $#@%
Look for the union ahole
Thanks for posting this.
Thanks joinedafterattack.
Polititians do what politicians do....... and unions buy politicians. This is breaking news?
LOL
FROM STORY:
Offered as part of the evidence in the case is a Jan. 2013 article published in the Washington Times that discussed Solis’s “policy of protecting unions.” “One of her biggest changes in direction was her reversal of the Bush administration’s efforts to fight union corruption. Ms. Solis’ predecessor, Elaine Chao, had issued several rule changes to make it easier for union members and watchdogs to detect wrongdoing.
Ms. Solis rolled those changes back saying “they had a detrimental impact on workers” and “made the union financial reporting requirements not only overly burdensome but ineffective,” the article stated.
Yawn... nothing will happen.
I’m watching Charlie Chaplin in “The Great Dictator” Same story as now, just white instead of black.
I told a hopeful but misguided soul that thought we might get the spinate back and impeach the sob that the GOP would never impeach a black queer.
Why, this is somewhat hard to believe knowing how PRUDENT this entire Administration has been. /s
Why does a union need a private jet?
Joined, thanks for posting this. I removed your title in favor of the published title, then added a few more excerpts from the article and included the court filing’s photo of Ms. Solis and William Waggoner, Leader of the International Union of Operating Engineers Union.
Maybe we (the Senate) should stop rubber stamping Obama’s assholes.
To shuttle all of those politicians that they own?
Hilda Solis, yet another crony living the high life with free money and taxpayer dollars. Just like standing in the DMV line, we will wait forever and nothing good will come from it.
Hilda Solis and “people of color” are untouchable and we will keep having our paychecks deduct their living expenses.

THE EXTORTION GAME VP Joe Biden Told BP: "You’ll Put $20 Billion In Escrow Or We’ll Do It For You."
She must be using the same travel agent as Pelosi.
