Hoa's Hinky Campaign Report Countdown: Day 33
Posted by: Jubal | 05/12/2008 7:28 AM
Chris Prevatt posted over at TheLiberalOC.com that Shirley Grindle revealed in a comment on Total Buzz that she's filed a complaint with the Attorney General regarding Hoa Van Tran's campaign report.That's in addition to the request for an investigation I filed last week with the District Attorney's office.
Honestly, what is the point in holding out, Hoa? Come clean, amend your report, and clean out the Augean stable of your campaign in hopes of completing the campaign with some sense of honor.
UPDATE (9:51 a.m.): Peggy Lowe posted the content of Shirley Grindle's complaint (thanks for joining the party, Shirley). It looks like Shirley took Chris Prevatt's post and turned it into a complaint.
I'd learned some time ago about the additional items like campaign manager Edgardo Reynoso's living accommodations at a Ramada Inn partly owned by Hoa's campaign treasurer/boss/landlord Phu Do Nguyen. However, I decided to limit my complaint to violations for which I actually have evidence.

It's pretty obvious neither Nguyen considers Tran a threat. If they did they'd have been all over this with mailers and such.
And it's a fair thing to complain about. If a candidate can't keep his campaign financial records straight, how can he be expected to oversee the finances of a county with a multimillion dollar budget?
