Politicians - in Alemeda, C A
Geez! What the heck is going on here?...
Update! - I understand that Mrs. Lockyer has now resigned...
Recently, Daniel Borenstein wrote about this at ContraCostaTimes.com:
"It's painful watching the Lockyer family drama spin out of control.
The alcoholic 40-year-old Alameda County supervisor, who is also battling drug addiction, checks in and out of rehab, then continues to behave erratically like a typical substance abuser.
The codependent 70-year-old elected treasurer of the nation's largest state risks his four-decade political legacy trying to preserve a marriage to a woman who cheated on him with a methamphetamine addict.
Then there's their young son, who was dragged along with his mother to the Newark motel where she says her lover beat her up.
These folks need help.
None of this would be any of our business except that the adults are also elected officials whom voters placed in positions of tremendous power, charged with making critical decisions that affect millions of lives. As a result, their behaviors and their judgments are very much legitimate public concern."
