The Los Angeles Times reports today that California casinos and card clubs made $10 million in charitable contributions on behalf of state Attorney Gen. Jerry Brown, the undeclared frontrunner in the 2010 race for governor. As they are charitable, the donations are legal, however, The Times points out that Brown's office oversees the gaming industry. Brown says in the story that he has always behaved ethically.

Among the gifts from casinos to Brown is $12,000, the legal maximum, from the Hawaiian Gardens Casino to the AG's campaign coffers.
