| Is Leon hiding in his condo closet? |
Leon Chow -- a
top SEIU-UHW official who’s a candidate for San Francisco’s Board of
Supervisors -- is officially in hiding.
Eleven days ago, the San
Francisco Appeal printed this
article detailing apparent fraudulent voting and other felonies committed
by Chow. One day later, Chow began interviewing criminal defense lawyers,
according to a source inside SEIU, and was more nervous than a turkey at
Thanksgiving.
Two days later, Chow’s handlers cancelled the "kickoff event" for his election campaign.
Next, Leon’s campaign website -- www.LeonChowForSupervisor.com --
suddenly disappeared from the worldwide web!
Here’s what Chow’s website used to
look like:
And here’s what it looks like today:
Apparently, all of these developments took place after Dave Regan held a series of tension-filled
meetings with legions of SEIU's lawyers, campaign consultants and deep-pocketed business
executives.
Despite the fact that Chow is officially “toast,” a source
reports that Regan recently held a conference call during which he pledged to
continue his efforts to unseat Supervisor
John Avalos, whom Chow was supposed to challenge in San Francisco’s
November elections. Avalos is the incumbent supervisor who’s supported by the
city’s progressive movement and virtually all of its unions… except for
SEIU-UHW, which is closely wedded to the Chamber of Commerce.
So what’s next on Dave Regan’s list of “genius” moves? Tasty
expects he’s frantically searching under his
purple couch for another “puppet” candidate to fraudulently foist on San
Francisco voters. And if that doesn’t work, perhaps Regan my simply ask his new
partner, CEO Duane Dauner of the
California Hospital Association, to
run against Avalos.
Whatever the case, Tasty hears that Regan’s latest electoral
disaster will undoubtedly spark new financial concerns among SEIU-UHW’s members.
They recently saw Regan flush an estimated $5.5 million down the toilet in his failed
campaign to place two flawed initiatives on the California ballot.
And during his Chow-gate scandal, “Diamond Dave” reportedly
poured wheel-barrows of union members’ money into Chow’s failed candidacy,
including funds for campaign consultants, opinion polls, offices, websites,
campaign staff, etc.
Now that Leon has completed his felonious faceplant, Regan
may try to use SEIU-UHW members’ dues money to hire criminal defense lawyers for
Leon, which would be a massive misappropriation of members’ money.
But hey… don’t put such violations past Dangerous Dave. In
2008, an investigation by the U.S. Department of Labor revealed that Regan had
illegally funneled thousands of dollars of union members’ dues money into a union
election in Nevada.
Stay tuned!
