California union leader charged with tax fraud, embezzlement

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — The top staff member at California’s largest labor union has resigned after she and her husband were charged with felonies including tax fraud.

Alma Hernandez served as executive director for SEIU California since 2016. The union represents more than 700,000 workers and is politically influential, regularly donating millions to Democratic candidates. The Sacramento Bee first reported the charges and her resignation.

Attorney General Rob Bonta said Wednesday his office filed charges against Hernandez and her husband, Jose Moscoso, on Oct. 4.

They were charged with five felony counts of filing false tax returns, allegedly under reporting their income by about $1.4 million over five years, according to the complaint. They allegedly owe the state more than $140,000 and could face state prison time.

Hernandez also faces two charges of grand theft and one of perjury for her work as treasurer on a 2014 political committee supporting a state Senate candidate.

The complaint alleges she directed nearly $12,000 in campaign money to her husband for campaign food services that he never provided.

That political committee received numerous contributions from the SEIU California’s political arm, according to campaign finance filings.

After SHE and her husband.

I was told that it was time for women to take the lead and that this new female leadership would be a nuanced, ethical, inspirational improvement on thousands of years of patriarchical leadership.

I guess we’ll have to wait a little longer, or wait for the current crew to try again with socialism because the stupid idiots that came before us and killed over 100 million people with it last century were just doing it wrong.

True what you say. SEIU hasn’t been in the news since the obozo regime so why has it been quiet until now? A check didn’t clear the bank maybe? Yellen can go after those pukes and forget worrying about people who have transactions of $600.00 in their bank accounts. Obscene especially when it’s been reported for years that federal employees are at the top of the list of dead beat taxpayers....

News?

Nah.

"news" would be if a Cali union leader was NOT dirty, one somehow suspects.
