Let the mob deal with her first and if she’s still alive, throw her in jail, confiscate all her assets and all of her family’s assets........Unbelievable

I remember when mayor Mo was caught in the middle of a drought with two water meters on her house. Don’t know what the fallout from that was. Probably nothing much.

OConnor, a Democrat who served two terms... Wow, they did mention it. *shocked*
To: rightwingintelligentsia
Knew it wasn’t one of ours or it would have said Republican Mayor....
Buried in the article;
O’Connor was the Democratic leader of California’s second-largest city from 1986 to 1992. The two-term mayor was elected San Diego’s first female leader after eight years on the City Council. She was married to Robert O. Peterson, founder of the Jack-In-The-Box restaurant chain.

Under terms of OConnors deferred prosecution, she has to undergo psychiatric treatment for gambling addiction, obey all laws and try to pay back the money.
"Your honor, I've tried harder than I ever have in my life and I just couldn't pay back any of that money..."

Surely that number can’t be right even for such a timeframe . . . won and lost a billion?!
To: rightwingintelligentsia
Since her party affiliation is not listed, I presume she’s a Dem?

It also takes some incredible amount of assets.
1 billion over 8 years is 125 million per year. Now how did she do that after stealing only 2 million?
I doubt casinos take personal checks in that amount.

She probably never had much more than $2 million at any one time. Sounds like she was gambling daily. Over 8 years she won and lost around a billion. Pretty much could be the same money over and over and over.

This is my family.
She was Bob’s third wife and a huge mistake.
Shame on her.
