LOS ANGELES –

Looks like another California lawmaker could be heading to jail because he doesn't live where he is suppose to....

What the hell is wrong with these ego driven, "do nothing" politicians who think they are "above the law?"

The latest political "bad boy" in California is Los Angeles based
State Sen. Rod Wright.

Wright was indicted on perjury and other charges, the result of a 23-month investigation into allegations the Democrat illegally claimed an Inglewood apartment as his residence, the District Attorney’s Office announced today.

The eight-count felony indictment (BA361187) was returned Monday by the Grand Jury. It was unsealed this morning when Wright, 58, surrendered and pleaded not guilty before Superior Court Judge Patricia Schnegg. The District Attorney’s office requested bail set at $45,000, said Deputy District Attorney Sandi Roth with the Public Integrity Division.

Here is what Los Angeles County District Attorney Steve Cooley's office is charging:

On Feb. 13, 2008, Wright declared his intent to become a candidate for the 25th Senate District, claiming that he lived in one of the units at 868 Glenway Drive, a five-unit complex that he owns. He claimed the same address when he registered to vote in 2007.

Wright, who previously served in the state Assembly, won the primary race on June 3, 2008, and was elected to the state senate on Nov. 4.
In October 2008, the Public Integrity Division launched an investigation after receiving a written complaint that Wright was living at a residence outside of the Inglewood district, Roth said.

The D.A.’s Bureau of Investigation revealed that since 2000, Wright allegedly has lived at his Baldwin Hills home, which is in the 26th district.

The indictment charges Wright with:

One count of filing a false declaration of candidacy
Five counts of voter fraud
Two counts of perjury.
The indictment alleges he fraudulently voted in elections in 2008 and 2009.

If convicted, he faces up to eight years, four months in state prison. He also would be barred for life from holding any elected office. He returns to Department 109 on Oct. 8 for pretrial.

W2G Rod! You and Los Angeles City Councilman Richard Alarcon could possibly be future "room mates" in Prision....

Meet Randy Economy

You may know me from my role as the Senior Advisor and Official Media Spokesman for the Recall Gavin Newsom campaign that established a worldwide blitz of interviews. I conducted more than 2,200 media interviews on behalf of “The People’s Recall” during a 10-month period from November 2020 to September 2021. The iconic magazine Mother Jones in a dramatic feature article called me “A ‘Superhero Pirate’ Radio Host, (and) Gavin Newsom’s Strangest—and Most Dangerous—Threat. Meet Randy Economy, the man behind the effort to recall California’s governor.” I appeared on more than 330 media outlets around the world in my capacity with RecallGavin2020. Fox News, CNN, MSNBC, Newsmax, NBC Nightly News, ABC News, as well as the Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, Politico, and dozens of other media outlets aired featured reports on my work on behalf of “The People’s Recall.” I am and will always consider myself to be a journalist. Sometimes I think I bleed ink. My talents as an Investigative Journalists in California earned me FIVE top awards from the prestigious Los Angeles Press Club in 2013, 2014, and 2016. I am tenacious. My reporting over the years has led to the prosecution of several elected officials in California. While working for a tiny community newspaper in Southeast Los Angeles County, I worked doggedly to expose the biggest public corruption case in Los Angeles County history when I unearthed a massive pay to play scheme inside the Assessor’s Office that led to the arrest of then Assessor John R. Noguez and four others. However, politics has been in my DNA since I was a child. I have worked on more than 300 political campaigns as a consultant and advisor since 1982 for candidates from all sides of the political spectrum including Democrats and Republicans, and even Libertarians. I am also a small business owner, serving as the President and CEO of Hot Water Studio & Production, LLC. My company works with media outlets across the state, nation, and world exposing public corruption via several new media platforms. I have also overcome personal challenges. I am legally blind with zero vision in my right eye and only 40 percent vision remaining in my left eye. I sometimes wear an eyepatch due to my failed vision. (Hence the nickname of “America’s Political Pirate.”
