Nothing says ‘I love you’ like hundreds of thousands of dollars

The L.A. Times prints a love story today. State Board of Equalization member Bill Leonard loves to give corporations tax breaks. Many corporations looking for breaks from the board love to “pump hundreds of thousands of dollars into a tiny Sacramento-area nonprofit where Leonard’s wife and his chief deputy both draw income.” All this love was recently celebrated, when the tiny nonprofit held its “annual gathering of lawmakers, lobbyists and their families at a luxury resort in Maui.”

Bill Leonard was the only member of the Board of Equalization who attended the gathering.
