Freebies for South El Monte's council members
Here's a sampling of what I found in a review of the South El Monte's economic interest forms, which provide a section to list any gifts received.
South El Monte Councilman Luis Aguinaga reported that he received a $50 bottle of tequila from Primestor Development and $120 worth of food from Athens Disposal, among other gifts.
Councilmembers Blanca Figueroa, Hector Delgado, Angelica Garcia, Joseph Gonzales and Aguinaga received multiple gift baskets from AAE Inc., Meyers Nave, Tacos El Chapparrito, South El Monte City Manager Tony Ybarra, Contract employee Omar Hernandez and law firm Richard, Watson and Gershon. Figueroa received $100 in cash as a Chinese New Year's gift from Superfood Warehouse. Gonzales reported receving $50 in tickets to attent the Dodger's Opening Day.
This is all legal.

The "Get a life" comment was geared towards the reporters in this blog who seem to have nothing better to do with their time than write about such trivial topics!!
