No Excuse for Baugh Finance ‘Mistakes’

It’s time Rep. Dana Rohrabacher (R-Huntington Beach) headed up a recall for newly elected Assemblyman Scott Baugh (R-Huntington Beach). His deceptive and fraudulent path to election is deplorable and the sooner we get rid of him the better.

I am getting tired of politicians fudging their contributions reports and then when they get caught they say: 1) My accountant filled it out; 2) I didn’t read it; 3) I’m new at this; 4) whatever else you might believe.
How can Rep. Dana Rohrabacher (R-Huntington Beach) say that Baugh is new at running for office and didn’t realize what he was signing? And then he says the reports didn’t mean anything.
We pushed for reports so we could tell who the politicians are beholden to. In Baugh’s case, that seemed to be Kendrick Campbell. Ironically, Baugh knew enough to give the money back. By the way, $1,000 cash feels exactly like a check in an envelope? Give me a break.
