California Democrats who run the state have decided laws no longer matter nor do ethics. The AG is fine with his wife leading the committee in the state house that oversees his budget.
KCRA in California reported on the material conflict of interest:
California Attorney General Rob Bonta’s wife, Assemblymember Mia Bonta, has been tapped to lead a budget committee that oversees and helps determine his agency’s spending, a decision that some political experts say is ethically questionable.
Assembly Speaker Anthony Rendon, D-Lakewood, recently appointed Mia Bonta, as the chairwoman of the Assembly Budget Subcommittee 5, which focuses on how taxpayer dollars are used on the state’s various public safety agencies, including the California Department of Justice. Both Bontas are Democrats.
“It should raise eyebrows,” said Bob Stern, former general counsel for the state’s Fair Political Practices Commission. “What’s going on with them? It seems to me they have a tin ear about ethics.”
“I believe Ms. Bonta will continue to be independent and unbiased in her legislative judgment, as she has been since starting her service in the Assembly,” Speaker Rendon said in a statement, defending his decision. “The Legislature has a robust and transparent budget process, designed with checks and balances to ensure the best possible budget is passed. Our final Assembly budget proposal must be identical to the Senate, and will be approved or vetoed by the governor. Additionally, we can’t set salaries or benefits for state constitutional officers, so no elected official can ever personally or financially benefit from our budget process,” he said.
Democrats and their Deep State don’t believe in conflicts of interest or the law when it comes to their own actions. This happens over and over again.
The Mueller gang was made up of far-left Trump haters. They had no problem with this and were allowed to go after President Trump for years. It was a prerequisite. Members of the gang had to be Trump haters.
Anyone close to the President was eligible for attack. This entire effort to remove President Trump from office was based on a lie. It was a coup. They all knew there was no Russia connection to President Trump. It was made up by the corrupt Hillary team.
None of them have been brought to justice so they will do it again.
President Trump is Right – Mueller and His Accomplices Are the Most Conflicted Gang in US History!
