Do the Sanchez sisters have an ethics problem?
Loretta and Linda Sanchez were the first sisters elected to serve at the same time in the House of Representatives. Now they have set a new record as the first sisters in Congress to be investigated at the same time by the House ethics committee.
“A document from the House ethics committee lists an examination into whether the chamber’s rules were violated when Rep. Linda T. Sanchez put three legislative aides to her fellow-congresswoman sister on her payroll after an embezzlement scheme had left Rep. Loretta Sanchez‘s office short of funds,” according to the Washington Post.
Here are a few more excerpts form the Post article:
The document, a July tracking report obtained by The Washington Post, says that the sisters, both California Democrats, “shared transferred staff from one office to another after embezzlement,” and that a meeting between lawyers for the ethics committee and the congresswomen had taken place June 1. The document also says that lawyers for the congresswomen had submitted a letter with “additional information” on June 19.
On May 19, the Capitol Hill newspaper Roll Call reported that the ethics committee was examining the employee transfer. The paper reported that the panel was investigating an agreement in which Linda Sanchez put three aides from her sister’s office on her payroll in 2006 shortly after discovering that one of Loretta Sanchez’s employees had stolen money from the office. That employee, Caroline Valdez, later pleaded guilty in U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia to charges that she embezzled from $5,000 to $10,000 from the office.
