Lewis still quiet on inquiry
George Watson, Staff WriterSan Bernardino County Sun
Under scrutiny for months, Rep. Jerry Lewis has said little about the federal inquiry into his ties to lobbyists and contractors.
In a handful of interviews and several prepared statements one of which asserted erroneous information the Redlands Republican has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing. But Lewis, chairman of the powerful House Appropriations Committee, has declined to comment specifically on any aspect of the investigation.
Gramps asks the Citizens of Grand Terrace to hold all their elected officials up to a high standard. Also remember the old rule of thumb show me your friends and I'll tell you about yourself. Tea anyone? Grants for OAC Off-ramp Study Anyone? I could go on, but that would be redundant of me, so I'll resist that urge.
Oh ok... Some of you insist here it is: Lewis is connected to Bill Postmus who is connected to Council Member Lee Ann Garcia who is connected to Grand Terrace Local Politics. The theory of 6 degrees of relationships certainly works in this example.
