It's about time but better late than never.
Maybe since we published Adam Christianson's campaign financial records they felt it was time to step up to the plate and admit what was going on.
Here are a few excerpts from Garths article.By Garth Stapley
Six executives of a Tennessee-based company that landed a multimillion-dollar contract running health care in the sheriff's jails contributed a total of $5,800, including a nonmonetary "Nashville getaway prize" worth $1,800, presumably used in a campaign fund-raiser.
In April, Correct Care Solutions won a bid over California Forensic Medical Group, which had provided inmate health care for more than 20 years.
A screening committee with representatives from the county's chief executive office, county counsel, probation department andChristianson's department ranked Correct Care highest."(Christianson) was the one pushing for this company (Correct Care)," DeMartini said. "Maybe they're paying him back."
Modesto entrepreneur Dan Costa contributed $4,000. Christianson's campaign paid Costa $1,655 for food for a fund-raising event, and paid Costa's company, 5.11 Tactical, another $11,805 for "clothing, party rentals, video" used in an event, according to a finance report.
The sheriff also refused to discuss his relationship with the West Side's Del Don family, whose farming, chemical and fertilizer com- panies contributed five checks totaling $12,000.
