Street: up Sh*t Creek

$7,000 in double-billings for a laptop computer?

A week or so ago, I noted that trustee “Tom Fuentes, former OC GOP chair, and his pals have worked hard over the years to place their corrupt friends in office. County Sheriff Mike Corona was one of those friends. He’s headed to the pokey.
Chriss W. Street, OC Treasurer-Tax Collector, is another.”

Well, this just in at the OC Reg:

Fraud trial set for O.C. Treasurer Chriss Street

Orange County Treasurer-Tax Collector Chriss Street will face trial early next year in a $7 million fraud lawsuit.
…
The lawsuit alleges that Street milked Fruehauf to enrich himself and to build a trucking empire, rather than repay Fruehauf's thousands of creditors. Street has said he successfully managed Fruehauf and that [his successor, Daniel] Harrow is pursuing a political vendetta.
…
[Street] has had to give extensive testimony twice. Both times, the transcripts became public. The transcripts revealed that Street had billed Fruehauf for lavish trips and meals as well as $7,000 in double-billings for a laptop computer, $6,000 for a personal trainer and $1,100 for an overnight trip to a luxury hotel in New York.
...
The transcripts came on top of official controversies, including an extensive remodel of his office and his purchase of a $80 million structured investment vehicle that later defaulted.

Naturally, Street was on hand to give a special report to our board of trustees at its last meeting.

He had nothing new or important to say.
