Comments on: Two more legislators ID’d who went on lobbyist-organized Cuba junket https://calwatchdog.com/2013/05/02/two-more-legislators-idd-who-went-on-lobbyist-organized-cuba-junket/ Wed, 25 Mar 2015 06:02:58 +0000 hourly 1 By: Ralph Hutchinson https://calwatchdog.com/2013/05/02/two-more-legislators-idd-who-went-on-lobbyist-organized-cuba-junket/#comment-11213 Wed, 08 May 2013 20:41:31 +0000 http://www.calwatchdog.com/?p=41989#comment-11213 Numerous reports have been made that Darius Anderson has been making trips to Cuba well over 50 of them over the last several years yet his company only recently filed for a permit with the State Department. Does that mean he was travelling illegally all those prior times? Who went with him on all those 50+ trips and were they then traveling illegally?

Wouldn’t Florida Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen be interested in these junkets without proper license?

Like letting the wolf guard the henhouse. Seriously if these loopholes appear unethical by most standards or don’t mirror Federal limitations then these should be tightened.

It doesn’t feel right to me to have California politicians going to Cuba and paying it with campaign funds donated by Darius’ clients. It also smacks that a lobbyist takes them with their sponsored nonprofit.

Its all favors being bought for dollars. And its wrong.

Salsa lessons? Rooftop cocktails? Really? Talk about a useful idiot. What’s Katcho mean by “unique delivery of human services ” anyways? We’re talking about a dictatorship here. I ‘m guessing Katcho never saw Castro ‘s prisons, often described as dungeons. Next stop, North Korea.

We live in the Socialist Soviet Republik of Kalifornia, right?

It’s like going to mecca.

Then bring some old Cuban refugees who fled the country when Castro took over and invite the state legislature to hear their stories.

AS LONG AS THEY STAY THERE AND NEVER RETURN.
