Nomination puts the heat on Vasquez

GADDI VASQUEZ RESIGNED AS ORANGE COUNTY SUPERVISOR IN A STATE IF DISGRACE. AT THE OUTSET OF THE BANKRUPTCY HE SAID HE WOULD TAKE A REDUCTION IN PAY AND DID NOT DO IT. THIS IS A PERSON WHO'S HONESTY IS IN QUESTION AND HAS NO BUSINESS HEADING UP THE PEACE CORPS.

I PLAN TO CONTACT MY TWO SENITORS AND URGE THEM TO REJECT THIS NOMINATION.
