A few days ago I did a post about how Tom Daly’s campaign for 4th District Supervisor received a contribution from Sharon Quirk’s campaign account and how the County Code prohibits that.
Turns out Harry Sidhu was the similar recipient of a fellow politico’s largess. On August 16, 2009 he received $250 from “Marty for Brea City Council.”
That would be Brea City Councilman Marty Simonoff.

What’s with these politicians that show their “support” by writing checks with money given to them by others? Note to cheap ass Siminoff: if you want to support some one, write them a check from your personal account.

Wake up your neighbors before it’s too late.
There are those that do and those that do nothing, pay attention before its too late.

The law goes like this..just to make it crystal.
A campaign controlled by another candidate cannot donate to any County candidates’ campaign. The only exception is if a candidate wants to contribute to himself such as from his own City council campaign funds to his Superivisorial campaign account.
So Harry if your name is also Marty Simonoff you are ok..if not..you just broke another law..dang it Harry, your petticoat is showing again..

AHHHHH! Sorry… I was just startled by those two hideous faces up there. I thought Hairball was ugly, but jesus, Marty definitely takes the cake…

Not very nice Luke/Steve. Weren’t you criticizing us not so long ago for personal attacks? Maybe I’m thinking of someone else.
