Recently, we marveled at the gall of some shadowy new group to take charity money and use it for blatantly transparent political purposes. We can now add self-serving to that charge, and put a face to that seedy group.
From the California Secretary of State's web site:
None other than Paul Gaspar, husband of city council member and Jerome Stocks acolyte Kristin Gaspar.
Really, Paul? Using a charity to send out campaign propaganda didn't trigger even the tiniest sense of shame?
Incidentally, Kristin Gaspar's 2010 election campaign was heavily funded by out-of-town physical therapists, who presumably had a lot more interest in currying favor with Paul Gaspar as director of the California Physical Therapy Association than they had in wayside horns for Encinitas.
Bonus Thought: If Paul Gaspar plays this fast and loose with IRS rules on 501(c)3 charities, what else might he be pushing the envelope on? An enterprising IRS auditor might want to find out!
