The Little Rascals that run the GOP in Contra Costa County have made a fetish of secrecy and financial subterfuge. And they’ve strong-armed hapless pols to play along. Financial transparency was voted down 24-7.
Here’s the Treasurer’s report from the February 19 meeting:
Darcy Linn: “Everything’s fine!”
Members: Wild Applause
Yet the State and Federal financial reports show negative balances and unpaid bills. How does $1,580 a month to the Executive Director equal $48,000 per year salary? If the new rent is less than your Netflix account why does the report show $1,106 paid in rent? And what does it mean that the only financial contributor to the GOP in January was a producer of lube from Alameda County?
Financial improprieties are serious issues. Yet Christian Amsberry, Nick Gerber, Elizabeth Hansen, Roger Petersen, and Abram Wilson(!)—who serve as ex-officio members of the Contra Costa GOP due to having run for elective office—all voted to maintain secrecy and continue to enable Alfalfa Del Beccaro and Darla Linn to cook the books as Greg “Spanky” Poulos puts on a magic show. Dean “Froggy” Andal was not in attendance.
Using the contact information of the roster of the Contra Costa Central Committee below, demand that the County GOP vote for accepted accounting practices and provide and audit and full financial statements in writing for all elected members.

I am surprised that someone who portrays himself as financially responsible like Abram Wilson would have anything to do with the lies, slander, and bad administration you write about.
How could this be? Either you are lying or Abram has been duped. I don’t know which is worse.
For the leadership of the party to be acting like this and have good people like Abram Wilson stand by is very disappointing. He should speak up and set the record straight.
