Allegation involved not only crossing but entering the..Mendoza line. Batter-up.. - California Senate agreed to pay $310K to settle lawsuit by ex-employee fired by ex-Sen. Tony Mendoza for reporting the lawmaker viz. alleged sexual harassment of co-worker

Power corrupts. I remember 'Tony the Tiger' fighting for education and against gangs. This guy was a humble school teacher who thought he could make a difference. Damn!

You mean, the TAXPAYERS paid the settlement. Get it straight.

Real journalists would tell the public PRECISELY where these funds are being generated from.

I think that means that California taxpayers are paying for Sen. Mendoza's sexual harassment of a fellow government employee!!
