Conrad, in first story: “I never met Angelo Mozillo.”
Conrad, in second story:
“I called (Mozilo). I said, ‘I’m buying this property. Would you be interested in the mortgage?’, and he said, ‘Yeah. Call these people and we’ll take a look,’” Conrad said.

Here’s Baker & Hostetler’s year-end 2006 lobbying report, which shows that Major League Baseball paid the lobbying firm $400,000 for a half year of work.

You’ve misread the line in the Senate disclosure report. Calautti is listed as having “income over $1,000.” That’s a ridiculously open-ended figure, but that’s the category she can legitimately check off.

Doesn’t the form state “over $1000, Rob?

Ok, I misread the form on Calautti’s income. Guess Kent’s sugar momma is capable of owning the home.
Nice catch on Kent lying though, Pom.

Nice that the crooks have the disclosure forms nearly worthless isn’t it.
The salient facts are that 1) Conrad saved at least $10,000 due to this special favor and didn’t report it. 2)The CEO of this huge company made a special exception to carry the loan on Conrad’s investment property. 3) He has apparently lied about knowing the guy.
This is absolutely inappropriate for a person in his position.
What’s left to come is for the state’s media to debase themselves covering for him.

I added a correction on Calautti’s income at the top of the post.

I’m obviously not singling out one party, but the fact that Congressmen are allowed to have spouses and kids that lobby is perhaps one of the most repulsive, non-transparent bits of bullshit in the world.
But, I’m sure they’d all tell you, “no, no, they don’t pester me about __________(fill in blank), or try to sell me on ____________(fill in blank) while we’re at home, etc.” What a load of crap.

and doesn’t the form have an exemption for property owned soley by a spouse our dependent?

Not that I’m aware of Puzzled, but if you know otherwise please indicate so. I’ve already acknowledged that I’m no expert at this rather arcane bit of political law.
But I notice you’re ignoring Conrad’s lie about knowing Mozilo. Typical.
