The news fuels the controversy that has followed Mayor Kevin Johnson since 2008, when his brainchild St. HOPE Academy first was investigated for misuse of public funds

Too bad, I kinda liked the guy when he was the star point guard for the Phoenix Suns. He was a class act then.

Favorite paragraphs from article: (what do we know about RIck Maya?)

However, Rick Maya, who officially left his position as executive director with St. HOPE last week, alleged in an April resignation letter that a member of the charter schools’ board deleted Johnson’s e-mails during the federal investigation. Those claims, uncovered by a public records request by The Bee, caught the interest of Brown’s office, who asked the FBI’s Sacramento division to look into it.

Gerald Walpin ran afoul of the Obama administration when he balked at the settlement talks, angry that Johnson didn’t have to return all the money he admitted to gaining from the government through fraud — and that he would once again be allowed to manage federal funds at all. He reported on his dissent to Congress, after which the White House attempted to bully him into resigning. When that didn’t work, the White House then announced that Walpin was incompetent and strongly suggested that he was senile as well.
