In Tuesday’s story on campaign finance reports, we didn’t have the space to list all of the contributions, in particular the smaller ones. But there were a couple of names that stood out, not from a conflict of interest perspective, but they were just let’s say noteworthy.
For example, La Habra Heights Mayor Howard Vipperman gave Councilman Bob Henderson $250. Does that mean that Henderson will return the favor next year when Vipperman is expected to seek re-election> The answer is probably yes.
And then there was the $200 contribution from Bill Dauber of Brea, who lists himself as an instructor with Los Angeles Community College. He also is a former Whittier Daily News reporter.
David Warner, a Whittier periodontist and husband of Councilwoman Cathy Warner gave $250 each to Councilmen Bob Henderson and Greg Nordbak. Councilman Owen Newcomer gave $250 to Henderson.
Here’s a list of the other contributors. None are listed from challenger Alex Morales because as of late Tuesday afternoon he had failed to turn in his statements listing individual contributions. Those with no information next to their name are Whittier residents.
