“A member of Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger’s cabinet resigned this afternoon after Times inquiries about income she received for giving speeches to private companies, including some that were doing business with her agency,” according to the L.A. Times.
“Schwarzenegger’s spokesman said State and Consumer Services Agency head Rosario Marin had broken administration policy, which does not permit the governor’s appointees to receive income for making speeches. Marin offered her resignation during conversations with the governor’s staff, according to Aaron McLear, Schwarzenegger’s spokesman, and it was accepted.”
One down…several more to go. In particular I want to see John Cruz resign ASAP. All of these lame greedy Hispanic 100 members need to get the Hell out of Sacramento. They don’t serve the people…they work only to enrich themselves. They are entirely offensive.
“Marin, whose state salary is $175,000 a year, was paid to address pharmaceutical companies within months of her agency’s push last year to reduce state oversight of prescription drugs.”
What a creep! Good luck finding a real job Rosario.
Rosario’s behavior proved to be an embarrassment to George W.’s office as well. He appointed her as Treasurer of the United States and out of the blue she decides to run for U.S. Senate against Barbara Boxer.
Actually, that was the trade-off. If she resigned, she was promised some money and support for her campaign against Boxer.
This lady is from Huntington Park. A financially challenged city with very poor residents. While on council she voted to pay councilmembers annual salaries that were greater than the average Huntington Park resident. I am not surprised how greedy this woman is.
The “Hipanic 100″ has never been bigger than about 10 members of self-serving,pompus men and a woman or 2 who have played the stupid GOP just because of their last names. Most of them can’t even speak Spanish LOL! None of them have done anything significant other than stick their noses up the butts of well-to-do,stupid white men who liked the stroking and gave them positions. Just look at some of the names below and ask yourself if you’ve ever heard of them or see them do anything around O.C. other than puff themselves up.
John Cruz,Manuel Ramirez,Manny Padilla and his loser son, David (who’s on the Fair Board), Mario Rodriquez and a few others make up the “100.” They’re a joke as is the “100.” But the real joke is on the OCGOP for ever buying the 100′s BS to begin with without any real verifiable evidence of credibility.
I couldn’t have said it better my friend. As a totally disgusted Republican I have found this “Hispanic 100″ minus 90 to be more reprehensible than most any other group I’ve come across. There’s nothing much “Republican” about any of them but I do have to give them credit for their shrewedness in figuring out clueless the GOP is. None of them have any resume to speak of when it comes to community activisim and none of them are particularly wealthy either; they just figured out how to slime their way in to some of the inner circles. None of them – not a one – has done anything to help out in central OC where most Hispanics live. Go figure.
This is sick! Republican, Democrat or other! Why do we stand for this crap? We are run by a bunch of Damm Criminals, from both sides! Less government, Less Taxes, Less Services,Less Corruption!
Another Bush Cronie burned.
I think you don’t know anything about her. There are people in life that have done extraordinary things and the story of her life should be taken as a life model because she found the formula for happiness by looking through the eyes of every person around her and trying to do her best effort to fix problems that concern every person in the world. I invite you to think about the people that surround you rather than just by yourself.
Latin,
I know her quite well. Whatever good she accomplished was nullified by her later greed.
What a waste.
