I received the following from Preserve Sierra Madre last night and I am reprinting it here. The gutless and patently dishonest smearing of Gary Hood by Los Angeles resident and career paid political operative H. Susan Henderson needs to be discussed and condemned.
The cost of distributing the Special Political Smear Edition of the Mountain Views News to every home in Sierra Madre was apparently $3,500. This is known because Susan Henderson admits it on her "Covid Go Fund Me" page. Which isn't about Covid anymore. It's about leaning on the usual gullible suspects to cover costs and line her pockets. After all, wasn't it Susan's people that did the distributing? Cha-ching!
If you go to this link you will be taken to Shady Susan's "Covid Go Fund Me" page. These is a drop down box on the right that shares all the names of those who have donated money to assist in the smearing of Gary Hood. The two screenshots below are only a small sampling.
Any guesses on the anonymous $1,000 donor? Perhaps a certain developer? Those oh so kind and caring Passionists? Should a complaint be filed with the State of California so we can find out?
They probably weren't completely aware of what this money would be used for, and likely still believe they're wonderful people. Useful idiots are rarely clued in on actual purposes, but they are still idiots.
Here is a little insight that you might not have been aware of yet. Susan Henderson has been engaging in political grift for decades. Since the 1990s, actually. Here are two San FranciscoExaminer articles that describe her demise and disgrace as she was removed from her gig as the 2nd highest ranking member of the California Democratic Party. Both for "resume' pumping" (grossly lying about her education) and party credit card abuse.
State Demo chief's resume disputed (San Francisco Examinerlink): To the people who hired her as executive director of the California Democratic Party, H. Susan Henderson looked terrific on paper - law degree, M.B.A., successful entrepreneur.
But Ohio State University, where Henderson's resume claims she obtained a B.S. degree in business, says no one by that name - or Henderson's maiden name, Poole - ever graduated.
University of California officials say they have never awarded a law or business degree to anyone named H. Susan Henderson or Poole either, although her resume claims both a law and a graduate business degree from UC campuses.
Demo leader resigns under fire (San Francisco Examinerlink): H. Susan Henderson, onetime Republican turned executive director of the California Democratic Party, has resigned her $78,000-per-year post amid controversy over alleged resume-pumping and questionable expenditures on a party credit card.
State party chair Bill Press announced Henderson's departure Wednesday, the same day The Examiner reported that she had registered to vote as a Republican barely two years before taking the $78,000-per-year Democratic Party post.
The Examiner also reported that the University of California had no record of awarding Henderson a law degree and an MBA, as she had claimed on her resume, and that a Sunnyvale business executive said Henderson had failed to repay a $2,000 loan.
A confidential news source said that California Democrats, who face the crucial 1996 election with a deficit of $1 million, would pay Henderson $25,000 in exchange for her resignation.
In a press release, Press said he had ordered an audit of the state party's books, after receiving an anonymous letter contending that Henderson had improperly run up some $3,000 in spending on a party credit card for items including (Victoria's Secret) lingerie and a trip to Disneyland.
There is much more information at both Examiner links. Read the articles. They will improve your understanding. Henderson lives off of tax payer funded City of Sierra Madre legal advertising, and has thereby violated the unearned trust this community places in her. City Hall knows all about Susan's past, yet apparently approves of her gratuitous resident bashing.
Oh, and as of midnight last evening the "special election"MVN edition in question has yet to be published on-line. Why is she hiding from the outside world?
