From the District Attorney’s Office:
La Puente Mayor Louie Lujan was arraigned and pleaded not guilty today to one count of perjury stemming from an allegedly false report he filed in February 2009 regarding campaign funds, the District Attorney’s Office announced.
Deputy District Attorney Max Huntsman of the Public Integrity Division said that in the event that Lujan, 33 (dob 6/06/76), is convicted the defendant would be removed from office. Lujan, who was first elected to the La Puente City Council in 2001, would also be barred from holding future elective office.
Deputy District Attorney Huntsman filed the felony complaint for arrest warrant on Feb. 16. The defendant is next due in court on Feb. 25.
Lujan allegedly received and spent dozens of campaign contributions in 2008 but failed to report the contributions and expenditures.
you might want to also look into Louie Lujan’s internet porn habits. I know I don’t want a Mayor leading my town who spends taxpayer time looking at who knows what kind of smut (perhaps some borderline or questionable sites)

I dont believe a word of this. I think it is all a trumped up dirty lie about the mayor. I got to meet him in person. He and his wife are very kind and caring people. I just cant believe that he could do something like this. Before he was even voted for, someone was sending hate mail full of lies about him to many of the residents in this city. One was sent to our house. I believe that there are jealous people that are poor losers that wanted to win unfairly. Because that didnt happen they have now have come up with this fraud against him to ruin him forever. I believe he was set up and that the records were tampered with by another person. You may say how can this happen, will why dont you ask the government how hackers try to access government files every day. I do believe it is possible this could have happened.
I just dont believe he is guilty as charged.
