Hews Media Group-Community News has obtained a lawsuit filed in the California Central US District Court claiming that former US Labor Secretary Hilda Solis, a current candidate for the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors, was provided thousands of dollars worth of free private jet travel without declaring the trips on the federal government required forms, paid for by the powerful International Union of Operating Engineers based in Pasadena during the same period she was undergoing confirmation hearings to become part of President Barack Obama’s Cabinet.....

William Waggoner with Hilda Solis. The lawsuit accuses Solis of not reporting flights to the Federal Elections Commission on the Union’s jet. HMG-CN was provided with flight logs that detail the plane trips that lasted in some cases less than five minutes between Ontario and El Monte, costing thousands of dollars.
The case is currently making its way through the court system and is before Judge Dean D. Pregerson.
Sources close to the case tell HMG-CN that Solis was given transportation on IUOE Local 12′s Cessna Citation XL Jet and that Solis failed to report the in-kind gift to the Federal Election Commission as required under law.
According to the Office of the Clerk U.S. House of Representatives website, no Financial Disclosure Reports have been filed by Solis...

Most bigwigs in unions never held a job in their lives. And certainly never held a job that the people they represent do for a living.
Oh, I’m sure it’s okay. She probably used her Labor Secretary position prerogative to change the rules “at her discretion” much like the thousand-plus instances of “at the [HHS] secretary’s discretion” caveats built into PPACA that Obama is using to “make this sh!t up as he goes along”.
I’d be willing to be she is about as smart as an empty toilet paper tube.
Damn! If I were divorced, she’d be the embodiment of my worst nightmare as a bitch ex-wife.
There is never a crime where a Big Labor hired hand flies on one of their planes.
Secretary of Labor is a temp job while the real permanent job is on one of the various fake DNC interest groups.

Transparency ping, thanks joinedafterattack.
At this point, what difference does it make? Nobody from this administration is ever punished for wrong doing.
Shame on you for preaching doom and gloom. /s
Merely a commentary on the obvious for anyone to take as they may.
Where's the media? What an outrage to think that a mere AUTHOR/PRODUCER (Dinesh D'Souza) is facing years in jail for something that pales in comparison TO THE ACTIONS OF THOSE WHO HOLD HIGH OFFICE WITHIN OUR GOVERNMENT.

The culture of corruption is orchestrated by those who position themselves on top, whether they be celebrities, CEO managers or union managers or university presidents, school superintendents, or head coaches, or lobbyists, etc..
I belong to a nonprofit credit union where they merge with other CUs only to justify big raises for the CEO but less benefit for members. Their CDs, fees, loan rates are worse than average and the CEO and his second in command get significantly over a million. The system is rigged for them while we all argue about politics.
They structure the system with cronies so they get all bennies imaginable, and are paid many times what they are worth, because they are in a special club and none have ever risked a dollar of capital.
I find the corporate CEOs who get platinum contracts that make them fireproof even when they fail as most outrageous example of the culture of corruption. The middle class is being stripped by this culture of corruption.
going off topic here but I’m ignorant as to this whole non-profit scam, though I’ve reliably read and know in the bones its a huge ruse.
I’ve got a real lib sister whose become a nurse in the SF Bay area late in life and after not five years of school & practice over there holds that “for profit medicine” is the bane of the US. She walked into near $70 as a starting RN there whereas NH starting RNs make HALF of that. What in the world is going on?
Another sister of mine has a local NPR show and what of that- tho a different horse- (this has been long discussed)?
Can what you say be generally true of “non-profits” - that the up and ups reap the dough? What you say is horrible. How are they keeping the lid on this (aside the usual lib media dominance)? Workers must be getting competitive wages/benes right down the line for this not to come out.
Are there a significant percent of non-profits that have unionized workers? What is going on?
Can u point me to a good link/book?
Did you see the /s?
Operators are bad people. They destroy non union contractor’s equipment for spite
