And the whole affair is perfectly legal.
Perata raised about $2.7 million to fight Proposition 11, including $602,000 from the California Correctional Peace Officers Association. The day after the redistricting measure was approved, the Oakland Democrat moved $1.5 million from his No on 11 fund to a legal defense fund to pay bills he's run up fighting a corruption investigation.Doh! Obviously the Big Labor bosses of the union are tickled pink that they get to subvert union money to help defend a corrupt politician. But not all the rank and file agree.
On PacoVilla's Corrections Blog, a Web site popular with state correctional officers, one user wrote: "Not only did we (CCPOA) back the wrong horse (No on 11) but now we're paying for Perata's corruption defense and from Lance's comment … it sounds like we're very happy to be privileged to do so."This is happening in light of the Dem controlled Legislatures attempt to override the will of the people that voted for Prop 13 and change the term "tax" into "fee" in order to avoid the 2/3 votes necessary to pass new taxes. Why do Californians keep voting these ass-wipes into the majority?
