Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics, a Washington, D.C., watchdog group known by the acronym CREW, has placed Rep. Laura Richardson on its "most corrupt members of Congress list." CREW put Richardson on the same list last year.
An independent Congressional committee is looking into the an agreement that allowed the Long Beach Democrat to get back her Sacramento house after losing it in foreclosure. Richardson bought the home while serving in the Assembly but later fell behind in her payments.
The congresswoman has maintained that she did nothing wrong in winning back her home from a man who bought it auction, blaming the lender for making an error in selling it in the first place. She has also said she is making the payments now and maintaining the home.
Though CREW has placed Richardson on its list, it should be noted in fairness to Richardson that the ethics committee has not reached a conclusion in its investigation. In fact, the committee will not even confirm that it is looking into the home sale, though sources recently told the Los Angeles Times they received calls from the panel about Richardson.
Richardson is as corrupt as they come, why do those people keep vote her back into office. Stupid stupid people
I think Richardson is the prime example on how politicians use their power to obtain things that would normally put a regular person in jail.If that's the case, she should market her brilliant idea, so that the other 2 million families that lost their homes could buy their homes back.

Look up the definition of "crook" and you're likely to find Richardson's picture. She is about as corrupt as they come. As someone that knows here personally, I can say that Richardson is a user and only looking out for herself. She will step...no, stomp on anyone in her way and will smile in your face the entire time. Granted she has done some positives, but has done more negatives for sure. I'm so glad that she doesn't represent my district.
The Ethics Committee should also look into her practice of bouncing checks and not paying her bills, or paying them seriously late with constant promises to pay. Go back as far as her bids to run for Long Beach City Council (and every office after) to find many people that Richardson has "borrowed" money from, but has yet to repay them. People like her have tainted my view of government. I feel sorry for her constituents, many who live in the inner city.
