Republican bad boy, Tom Del Becarro, longstanding chairman and now behind the curtain finance director of the erstwhile county Republican Central Committee, has done it again. Like squashing bugs, Del Beccaro taught both the California Secretary of State and the Fair Political Practices Committee (FPPC) a thing or two by committing the #1 campaign fundraising no-no two-years running by: accepting, nay practically requesting (wink-wink-nudge-nudge) cash campaign contributions above the $99 legal limit.

At least that’s what’s implied in the recent flyer for the upcoming Chairman’s Golf Tournament to be held April 28th. The flyer states that although checks are preferred for Single Golfers ($185) and Foursomes ($740), cash and credit cards can be accepted! Nor does the form request the usual FPPC requirements for employer info, etc., etc., etc.

Maybe this is the spunk and streetwise can-do savvy that the California Republican Party saw in Del Beccaro to make it snap up Il Duce as a frontline fundraiser who laughs at rules whether or not he produces results. Cause when you can’t win elections it’s all about style points, right?
