Sanchez sisters face scrutiny over payroll questions
The Sanchez sisters are in the news again -- and it's not about Linda Sanchez's new baby.
According to Roll Call, "the House ethics committee is reviewing whether the chamber’s rules were broken when Rep. Linda Sánchez (D-Calif.) put three of Rep. Loretta Sanchez’s (D-Calif.) aides on her own payroll in late 2006 because of a budget shortfall in her sister’s office." More here (registration required).
In other Sanchez news, the Associated Press reports: A former executive assistant to California Rep. Loretta Sanchez has pleaded guilty to stealing from office funds. Caroline Valdez admitted in federal court Monday that she used Sanchez’s House credit card to buy airline tickets for herself and a family member and to have pizza and groceries delivered.
