</font></div>

<div><font face="Times New Roman" size="4">According to Stone, Munger is giving $500,000 to Garcia, a former assemblywoman engaged in a heated war of words with the Riverside County supervisor.</font></div>

</font></div>

<div><font face="Times New Roman" size="4">“Charles Munger, a BILLIONAIRE from San Francisco, has decided that Senate seats in our State are ‘for sale’ to the highest bidder,” Stone wrote in an email to supporters asking for their help.</font></div>

</font></div>

</font></div>

</font></div>

<div><font face="Times New Roman" size="4">“I hope you will agree that the citizens of Riverside County should determine who our next Senator is, not a San Francisco billionaire, or, the special Sacramento interests funding 95% of Bonnie Garcia's campaign.”</font></div>

</font></div>

<div><font face="Times New Roman" size="4">Garcia’s campaign and representatives of<b> Munger's PAC, Spirit of Democracy California</b>, did not immediately respond to a request for comment.</font></div>

<div><font face="Times New Roman" size="4">The campaign has gotten increasingly antagonistic with Stone and Garcia accusing each other of bullying and unethical behavior.</font></div>

</font></div>

<div><font face="Times New Roman" size="4"><b>Garcia announced this week she filed complaints with the attorney general and Fair Political Practices Commission asking for an investigation of Stone.

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman">One race has been particularly nasty, the State Senate race between Former Assemblywoman Bonnie Garcia and County Supervisor Jeff Stone, both republicans. But who is really behind the negative TV ads?</font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman"><b>The ad in question dramatizes a road rage incident that Stone admits happened.</b></font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman">"He apologized to me, I apologized to him for allegedly cutting him off, that was the end of the issue.  Miss Garcia wants to make this into a campaign issue," said Stone.</font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman">It's an issue Bonnie Garcia began pushing during the primary. </font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman">"It's really been more about a character assignation than really dealing with the issues, we are dealing with really challenging times here in the State of California," said Stone. </font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Garcia declined an on camera interview but her campaign provided us this statement:</font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman"> "Mr. Stone is tone deaf to voters and fails to grasp that they are tired of lawmakers who are also lawbreakers. With four Senators already arrested for crimes including bribery and money laundering, the last thing voters want is Mr. Stone who has a long history of breaking the law and has <b>spent nearly $3 million on dirty campaigns in three failed runs for state office."  </b></font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Stone says he never broke the law. "Even the perpetrator of the crime said, 'Mr. Stone never identified himself as a police officer.'  It was very clear, I wouldn't have the endorsement of Riverside County Sheriff Stan Sniff, I wouldn't have the endorsement of the 3600 Deputy Sheriffs in this county or CAL FIRE or former district attorney Grover Trask if they felt in any way I had broken the law," said Stone.</font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman"><b>We found out this ad didn't come from Garcia's campaign, it was paid for by Spirit of Democracy.  It's political action committee financed mainly by Charles Munger, Jr.</b>, a physicist who has infused millions of dollars into California political campaigns.<b>  According to the Secretary of State's website, in less than three years he's contributed nearly $50 million.</b></font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman">"Why is a San Francisco billionaire put in a million dollars into this race? What kind of promises have been made to further his billionaire's wealth that she is going to legislate on his behalf? I don't want to be beholden to anyone," said Stone.</font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman">We looked at Garcia's campaign finance records, Munger only contributed $8,200 this year directly to her campaign, but his PAC has contributed thousands. </font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman"><b><span style=" background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">This year stone has received contributions from </span><span style=" background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">corporations and LLCs </span><span style=" background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">but we did not find any donations from a political action committee.</span></b></font>

<div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">DID GOVERNOR BROWN CHOSE WELL WHEN IT CAME TO THE APPOINTMENT OF THE NEW RIVERSIDE COUNTY SUPERVISOR CHUCK WASHINGTON, TO TAKE THE PLACE OF LAW ENFORCEMENT IMPERSONATOR AND NEW SENATOR JEFF STONE?</font></div>

<div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">While questions arose of why it took 3 months to appoint a replacement for Deputy Sheriff former Supervisor and new Senator Jeff Stone, how did the process for choosing Washington go forward?  But maybe the Riverside County Supervisors are ecstatic because of Washington’s association with Rancon Real Estate Development.  The process that Washington was involved continues to stink, no matter how many matches you use to curtail the smell, it smells.</font></div>

</font></div>

</font></div>

<div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">The disgusting part was that three of the five Temecula City Council had some connection to <b>Rancon Real Estate, </b>a development they needed to vote on.</font></div>

</font></div>

<div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">The hotel’s owners are represented by an agent with Rancon Real Estate Corp. According to Thorson, Rancon Real Estate’s chief executive officer is<b> Dan Stephenson,</b> who also founded the Rancon Group, a Murrieta-based collection of development-related companies of which Comerchero is president and CEO.</font></div>

</font></div>

<div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Stephenson has been the top donor to all five council member’s political campaigns, and Roberts’ son is a Rancon Real Estate agent, although he is not the listed agent for the hotel.</font></div>

</font></div>

<div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Naggar and Washington are investors in limited liability companies managed by Stephenson, according to Thorson’s report. Naggar is also a real estate consultant to several of those companies.</font></div>

</font></div>

<div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">So how many times has Washington possible voted in the past on conflict of interest issues that were not in the best interest of the tax payer?  How many times did the other two Council Bozo’s voted the same?  Questions are brewing as why he was markedly chosen for the position, was it because of Governor Brown obligations to union ties, and see that Washington.  Would SEIU have had a word with Brown to get Washington in?  After all, huge amounts of union monies are spent their campaigns</font></div>

<div>RIVERSIDE COUNTY<b>: Jeff Stone's campaign fined $5,500</b></div>

<div><b>It’s the third penalty since 2006 for longtime Inland politician Jeff Stone.</b></div>

<div>By JEFF HORSEMAN / STAFF WRITER</div>

<div>Published: Dec. 22, 2015 2:58 p.m.</div>

<div>

</div>

<div>RIVERSIDE COUNTY: Jeff Stone's campaign fined $5,500</div>

<div>

</div>

<div>REPEAT OFFENDER</div>

<div><b>State senator and longtime Inland politician Jeff Stone has "a history of violating the (Political Reform) Act," according to the state Fair Political Practices Commission.</b></div>

<div>

</div>

<div>December 2015: Stone's campaign and his treasurer are fined $5,500 for violations connected to<b> luxury box fundraisers at two sporting events hosted by developer Dan Stephenson.</b></div>

<div>

</div>

<div><b>May 2011: The commission fines Stone $16,000 for failing to report roughly $84,000 in campaign donations to his 2010 Senate campaign.</b></div>

<div>

</div>

<div>October 2006: Stone is fined $2,000 for a record-keeping violation stemming from his 2000 bid for Assembly.</div>

<div>

</div>

<div>For the third time since 2006, a state agency has fined Jeff Stone’s campaign thousands of dollars for breaking California’s campaign finance rules.</div>

<div>

</div>

<div>Last week, the Fair Political Practices Commission, which enforces campaign finance regulations, fined the state senator’s campaign and treasurer <b>Dana Hopkins</b> $5,500 for receiving over-the-limit donations and failing to disclose a non-monetary contribution.</div>

<div>The latest infractions stem from fundraisers at professional sporting events sponsored by a prominent southwest Riverside County developer.</div>

<div>In an email, Stone wrote: “The laws governing state elections are very complex and often require professional accountants (all are CPAs that I hire) to ensure the many contributions one receives are within the legal scope of accepting them.”</div>

<div>“Hence I put my faith in these professionals (CPAs) while I was busy on the campaign trail(s),” he wrote. “In my last two state campaigns, my two different treasurers failed in their attention to detail that should have been identified and mitigated.”</div>

<div>“As a result of their failures, both treasurers respectively paid BOTH those fines themselves. But the political buck and responsibility falls on me, which I fully accept.”</div>

<div>Hopkins could not be reached for comment.</div>

<div>Stone, a former Temecula councilman and county supervisor, defeated former GOP assemblywoman Bonnie Garcia in 2014 in a costly and acrimonious battle for the 28th Senate District, which represents the Coachella Valley and southwest county. The commission’s investigation arose out of a complaint filed by Garcia, who traded accusations of unethical behavior with Stone.</div>

<div>

</div>

<div>In November 2013, Dan Stephenson, founder of<b> The Rancon Group, a Murrieta-based collection of real estate and development companies,</b> held two fundraisers for Stone’s Senate campaign. The events took place in luxury boxes at a Los Angeles Lakers basketball game and a Los Angeles Kings hockey game and guests received a seat, food and drink in exchange for their contributions.</div>

<div>Stephenson has a long history of political fundraising, especially for Temecula council members. In 2007 -- Stone was a councilman from 1992 to 2004 -- a majority of council members had personal financial ties to Stephenson, who was the top contributor to their campaigns.</div>

<div>

</div>

<div><span style=" background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">The events raised almost $49,000 for Stone’s Senate bid, including $8,200 from<b> 17 limited liability companies</b> in which Stephenson had an ownership interest.</span></div>

<div>According to a commission report, Stone’s campaign questioned how it should disclose Stephenson’s contributions. “An employee of Stephenson informed the Stone Committee that Stephenson owned less than 50% in each of the Stephenson Entities (except for one),” the report read.</div>

<div>

</div>

<div>“The Stone Committee believe that if Stephenson owned less than 50% of an entity, the contribution from the entity would not be aggregated with any other contributions.”</div>

<div>As a result of this “misunderstanding of the law,” Stone’s campaign reported the contributions “but failed to identify Stephenson as having directed and controlled the contributions from the Stephenson Entities,” the report read.</div>

<div>

</div>

<div>The $7,808.58 spent by Stephenson on the fundraisers counted as a non-monetary contribution, and Stone’s campaign<b> failed to report it in a timely manner,</b> the report added.</div>

<div>SB 1306, as amended, Stone. Consumer remedies: attorney’s fees and litigation costs: prevailing party. costs.</div>

<div>Existing law, the Consumer Legal Remedies Act, authorizes a consumer who suffers damage from the use of unfair methods of competition and unfair or deceptive acts, as defined, to bring an action to recover damages or other relief. Existing law requires a court to award court costs and attorney’s fees to the prevailing plaintiff in an action brought litigation filed pursuant to those provisions. Existing law also permits a court to award reasonable attorney’s fees to a prevailing defendant only if the court finds that the plaintiff’s prosecution of the action was not in good faith.</div>

<div>This bill would revise those provisions to instead require a court to award court costs and attorney’s fees to the prevailing party in the action.</div>

<div>This bill, in litigation pertaining to the California Environmental Quality Act that is filed pursuant to the Consumer Legal Remedies Act, would require the court to award court costs and attorney’s fees to the prevailing party in the action.</div>
