Dollars to donuts the sex-starved Mrs Lockyer (married to old man Bill who apparently couldnt cut the mustard) put the drug-addled boyfriend on the county payroll in a no-show job.
Probably getting paid for his "sexual services" w/
<><> a six-figure county paycheck,
<><>credit card, expense account,
<><> tax-subsidized travel to "county conferences at resort motels" with Mrs L,
<><> tax-paid cars, bonuses, benefits, and other tax-paid subsidies.
WHERE DID MR L GET THE MONEY TO BACK THE WIFE? IS HE THAT WELL-PAID? Bill Lockyer donated $1.1 million to his wife's campaign, which allowed her to outspend her opponents.
The Tribune did not endorse Mrs Lockyer because of the thinness of her resume. They interviewed her and examined her glossy campaign literature (paid for by her hubby). In the end, voters didn't know much about her and now with her extramarital sex play made public, they know even less than they'd imagined.
Here's some popular campaign funding frauds:
* Instructing a campaign volunteer to forge the handwriting of campaign donors on donor contribution forms required by the Campaign Finance Board.
* Offering to reimburse an individual for a donation to the campaign.
* Instructing campaign volunteers, and others, not to accept consecutively numbered money orders as donations to evade detection about shady donations.
* Discussing ways to conceal information about bundlers.
* Working closely with bundlers on fund-raising events in which donors were illegally reimbursed for their contributions.
* Impeding investigations by failing to produce subpoenaed records in an apparent attempt to evade detection.
