no mention of party affiliation... guess we know what that means

Desert Hot Spring City Councilman Karl Baker's name is signed on the back of nearly $15,000 in checks the city wrote to a local businessman.
Baker appears to have endorsed all 22 checks paid to Chryss Home Automation, as recently as a $1,200 check dated Oct. 6.
The owner, Pete Chryss, rents a room in Baker's house and has worked on Baker's Nov. 8 re-election campaign.
“I was shocked at what I found. I recognized a familiar signature on the back of the checks for pretty much every check to Chryss Home Automation,” Finance Director Jason Simpson told The Desert Sun.
Simpson said he forwarded the checks and other evidence this week to the Riverside County District Attorney's Office, citing a state law that addresses conflict of interest.
“I don't know anything about that business,” Baker told The Desert Sun in a phone interview Oct. 14. “He (Chryss) does his business. I do mine.”
I don’t think they have Amish in California do they?
