Baldwin Park just can’t seem to stay out of the news lately……Here’s a story I wrote that ran in today’s paper:

BALDWIN PARK – State officials launched an investigation into allegations Mayor Manuel Lozano took an all-expenses paid trip to China and didn’t report it on his economic statements.

Just a side note, Lozano told me Thursday he was going to fax me all the documents he sent to the FPPC showing who exactly paid for the trip and how much they paid. But on Friday, Lozano’s documents were no where to be found.

He didn’t return at least a dozen calls I placed to him throughout Friday morning, afternoon and evening.

Also, Frank Chu (whose father Nelson Chu is alleged to have paid for the trip) dodged most of my calls Thursday and Friday.
