Assemblyman Curt Hagman Demands The Return Of Funds And An Inquiry Into Former Elected Official Unemployment Payments
Mike Spence (916) 319-2060
Assemblyman Curt Hagman - "The law is very clear on this issue."
Sacramento-Today, Assemblyman Curt Hagman (R-Chino Hills) requested the Accountability and Administrative Review Committee begin an investigation into the California Employment Development Department's unlawful payment of $11,250 to a former city councilman from Rosemead, CA, John Nunez, who filed the claim after losing a re-election bid in March of this year.
The California Employment Development Department approved the claim even after the city cited Unemployment Insurance Code Section 634.5 which renders elected officials ineligible for unemployment benefits.
"Becoming an elected official is something I am very proud of," said Assemblyman Hagman, "I find it disgusting a representative would repay his community by attempting to squeeze every possible dollar he can get out of the city."
