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.....

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 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.

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.

Oh, I’m sure it’s okay. She probably used her Labor Secretary position prerogative to change the rules “at her discretion” much like the thousand-plus instances of “at the [HHS] secretary’s discretion” caveats built into PPACA that Obama is using to “make this sh!t up as he goes along”.

There is never a crime where a Big Labor hired hand flies on one of their planes.

Secretary of Labor is a temp job while the real permanent job is on one of the various fake DNC interest groups.

At this point, what difference does it make? Nobody from this administration is ever punished for wrong doing.

Another example of "not a smidgeon of corruption"?

Where's the media? What an outrage to think that a mere AUTHOR/PRODUCER (Dinesh D'Souza) is facing years in jail for something that pales in comparison TO THE ACTIONS OF THOSE WHO HOLD HIGH OFFICE WITHIN OUR GOVERNMENT.
