Just days after a mysterious incident in which she was reportedly attacked at a Newark motel by an ex-boyfriend, Alameda County Supervisor Nadia Lockyer said Tuesday that she has enrolled in a program to be treated for chemical dependency.
Lockyer, 40, the wife of state Treasurer Bill Lockyer, said in a statement that she entered a “wellness and recovery center” last week for treatment of the unspecified chemical dependency and “my injuries from the assault.”
She also said she was being treated for “chronic pain from a past debilitating car accident,” without giving specifics.
“Alcoholism and addiction are diseases from which many of us suffer, and unfortunately I have not been spared,” Nadia Lockyer said. “I understand that the public and the press have an interest in the health of their elected officials. That is why I am publicly disclosing my medical condition and that I am seeking treatment.”
The statement did not say how long the treatment may take, only that she planned to continue “doing the work I was elected to do.”

Sanctuary for liberals.
By the summer of last year and after her first six months in office, county staff began noticing stark changes in Nadia's physical condition. While she never weighed more than 120 pounds, according to staff, she appeared thinner than ever. At the dais during public meetings, her eyes became round and buggy. Almost stuck in a perpetual state of surprise. Her face appeared noticeable gaunt, which only made her cheekbones gain more prominence than before. There had been whispers that her visage suggested an eating disorder, but recently, they say, the telltale signs of something more ominous was occurring to Nadia.

how does a slug like Bill get hooked up to a babe like her?
The usual way; high ranking democrat in his 60's impregnates a 32 yr old staffer.
actually I meant “fat 60-ish grey-haired slug”..
if this was true, and occurred with a Republican, it would be the end. Why isn't it the end for Lockyer? Surely there is somebody willing to come forth with the real information? heads should roll. LEO's should be thrown under the jail if this be true. Lockyer sent to prison himself. Clerks fired, etc.
I hate their corrupt rotten godless guts.
If she can spend $2 million on a campaign for a county office, she can obviously afford all the drugs she could ever want.
Good catch! I think this story is going to grow a lot of legs.
