Remember the reports of Bill Horn and his Chief of Staff making the party scene together as if they were a couple? Remember the reports from this blog about how Horn owned the house his chief-of-staff Joan Wonsley was living in?
Well today’s Union-Tribune busts this story wide open. Read it here.
North County Times reports on the messy situation here.
KFMB 8 reports on the scandal, and publishes a response from Supervisor Horn here.
The explanations offered by Horn and Wonsley don’t hold up very well and News 8 did a good job of pointing this out:
Bill Horn’s campaign documents also list a bogus residential street address for both Joan Wonsley and her daughter Brooke.
“#2 Via Loma” is listed on the forms, but it is not in Encinitas and it is not where the Wonsleys are living.
Via Loma is really Wonsley’s mother’s address in Laguna Niguel.
Wonsley says she listed the false address to protect her privacy. But the street address of Horn’s Carlsbad house where the Wonsley’s actually do live is not reported on Horn’s campaign statements as required by law.
Failure to disclose a paying tenant, bogus addresses on official campaign record; if somebody didn’t know any better they might think Bill Horn has something to hide.
