Leon Chow channels Pinocchio |
‘I was basically homeless.’
That, according to SEIU-UHW’s Leon Chow, is the reason why he apparently committed felony
violations of voting laws described in yesterday’s edition of the San
Francisco Appeal.
Homeless??
Gimme a break! Unless, of course, Chow happens to be the
first person in recorded history to be “homeless” while simultaneously earning
more than $100,000 a year!
It turns out that from 2006 to 2011, Chow was paid an
average of $108,000 a year by SEIU-UHW, according to union records filed with
the US Department of Labor. In fact, here’s what Leon “I’m Homeless” Chow
pocketed in 2011: $111,179. (Click on the image below to enlarge it.)

And that’s not all. It turns out that Chow -- who's a member of SEIU-UHW's Executive Committee -- was somehow “homelessness”
at the same time that he owned a condominium in Walnut Creek! Quite a trick,
huh?
Hey Leon... Tasty has a humble suggestion: Before making pathetically dishonest claims
about your deprived existence, you might wanna spend some time reviewing the
paychecks of the homecare workers whom you’re supposed to represent. Many of
these workers earn less than $15,000 a year and have none of the Cadillac
benefits that you enjoy.
So what’s next for Leon?
Well, Chow may not be “homeless,” but he’s
definitely been afflicted by the same foot-in-mouth disease that’s famously infected
SEIU’s Dave Regan. We can all look
forward to additional faceplants by Leon in the days
ahead… especially when he undergoes questioning
by the District Attorney and the Secretary of State’s Election Fraud
Investigation Unit.
Stay tuned!
