...the governor plans to appear Friday at a Lake Tahoe fundraiser hosted by, among others, philanthropist and former junk bond king convicted felon Michael Milken.

My, what a wonder a decade or two will do for one's legacy, huh?

If they mention Milken, I wonder who the "among others" refers to.

Sacramento-area developer Steven A. Gidaro is among the hosts of an event Thursday at the exclusive Sutter Club in Sacramento. Gidaro is giving $25,000, which entitles him to two tickets and preferred dinner seating.

Gidaro is part of a group of investors that owns 17,000 acres of farmland and open space near Sacramento. The group is battling legislation that would open the way for neighboring Yolo County to buy and preserve the land.

"There is nothing unusual about fundraisers at the end of session," said Assemblywoman Lois Wolk (D-Davis), whose bill Gidaro is battling. "But Gidaro's involvement should raise eyebrows. He has one purpose and one purpose only — and that is to kill my bill."

Among Gidaro's consultants is Wilson — who is a Schwarzenegger fundraiser as well as political aide. Wilson said he had no idea what Schwarzenegger would do if Wolk's bill were to reach his desk, and he doubted that the governor was aware that he represents Gidaro.
