49 Noguez employees contributed nearly $40K to 2010 election effort

Nearly 50 high ranking employees inside the Los Angeles County Assessor’s Office have given a total of nearly $40,000 in political contributions to the recently semi-departed Assessor John R. Noguez, Los Cerritos Community Newspaper is reporting on Wednesday.
Publisher Brian Hews said in a statement that it “is important to follow the political campaign cash” that has been poured into Noguez during the past decade as the nation’s largest elected property appraiser.”
“Our readers tell us that they want real transparency when it comes to political donations to our local elected officials,” Hews said in a statement. “The money being passed around inside the Los Angeles County Assessor’s office is emblematic of the pay-to-play practices that have become a daily ritual.”
“This just shows the inherent lack of policies and procedures and how everything is so interconnected, it reminds me of the Mordidas bribary stories my mom (who was from Mexico) used to tell me,” said Hews.
