Is the long wait finally over? Rumors were swirling today that Supervisor Janet Nguyen would finally end her inexplicable refusal to disclose the identities of the three donors to her illegal legal defense fund.
One of our commenters posted this about 45 minutes ago:
Finally, Janet Nguyen filed her paper today. It showed three donors: Mission Viejo Company for $5K, Townsend for $5K and Parking Concept for $2.5K. All checks were returned on April 14.
Check it out.
I get a vibe of legitimacy about this. And if this comment is accurate, then why did Janet wait so bloody long to disclose contributions from a developer, a lobbyist and a company that presumably would like to do some business with the county? It's not as if a supervisor has never received contributions from a developer, a lobbyist and a company that would like to do business with the county.
If this sudden decision to disclose is first of all genuine and secondly, related to Matt Harper's arrival today on Janet's staff, then perhaps we're seeing the beginning of the end of amateur hour in Supervisor Janet Nguyen's office.
