Lawmakers' gifts tabulated
Consumer Watchdog reports on the wide-range of gifts that state lawmakers receive from special-interest groups, including:
-- Assemblyman Curt Hagman, R-Chino Hills, received six Lakers tickets on three separate occasions (two tickets worth $180 from Majestic Realty in the City of Industry; two tickets worth $150 from Portland Cement in Ontario; two tickets worth $325 from Southern California Edison). Of those tickets, only the two from Majestic Realty came before he it was clear he would become a lawmakers.
Plus, Hagman also received $316 worth of football tickets from UCLA (after we knew he'd join the Legislature) and four rounds of golf worth $320 from Vellano Country Club in Hagman's hometown of Chino Hills (two rounds before we'd knew he'd be a lawmaker).
-- Assemblyman Jeff Miller, R-Corona, received Sacramento Kings tickets worth $120.99 from AT&T and Kings tickets worth $175 from the California Hospital Association. He also received $375 worth of Anaheim Duck tickets from Mike Kerr of Bluestone Communities in Newport Beach (but that was before he was a lock for the Legislature).
Miller received six tickets (and food) worth $375 for the Love Ride concert headlined by the Foo Fighters and ZZ Top on Oct. 26, 2008.
