Executive director of California’s largest union charged with tax fraud and other felonies. Meanwhile, her union members are out scrubbing toilets ad emptying bedpans. Being well connected California Democrats probably not much will happen to them.
The top staff member at California’s largest labor union has resigned after she and her husband were charged with felonies including tax fraud.
Alma Hernandez served as executive director for SEIU California since 2016. The union represents more than 700,000 workers and is politically influential, regularly donating millions to Democratic candidates. The Sacramento Bee first reported the charges and her resignation.
Attorney General Rob Bonta said Wednesday his office filed charges against Hernandez and her husband, Jose Moscoso, on Oct. 4.
They were charged with five felony counts of filing false tax returns, allegedly under-reporting their income by about $1.4 million over five years, according to the complaint. They allegedly owe the state more than $140,000 and could face state prison time.
