Ackerman Political Slush Fund Money?
Posted on October 13, 2009 | 1 CommentIs Linda Ackerman using political slush fund money to fund her campaign for the Assembly seat (AD 72) vacated by the disgraced Mike Duvall? A recent campaign finance disclosure indicates that she took thousands of dollars from a suspicious political committee - Citizens for Brulte. The committee is apparently controlled by Republican lobbyist Jim Brulte. Critics question Brulte's ties to a political scandal in San Bernadino county and District Attorney Michael Ramos. California Common Cause has criticized political committees like Brulte's as "slush funds, for lack of a better word". While Linda Ackerman's campaign funding smells of Sacramento's bipartisan Culture of Corruption, it also reeks of a Culture of Creepiness. -
