Bustamante Attorney General letter

A group of about a dozen wo­men, in­clud­ing rep­res­ent­at­ives from the Or­ange County Em­ploy­ees Assn. and the Cali­for­nia Na­tion­al Or­gan­iz­a­tion for Wo­men called on the State At­tor­ney Gen­er­al to con­duct an in­de­pend­ent in­vest­ig­a­tion in­to what they claim is the county’s fail­ure to pro­tect em­ploy­ees in the wake of the Car­los Bustamante sex scan­dal.

A let­ter sent to Atty. Gen. Kamala Har­ris Tues­day ref­er­enced pre­vi­ous al­leg­a­tions made by a county ex­ec­ut­ive that charges have been brought against Bustamante as polit­ic­al re­tri­bu­tion for ac­tions that the county took in re­mov­ing the pub­lic guard­i­an.
