The Happiest Corruption: Sleaze, Lies, & Suicide in a California Beach Town

This is insider crime history — my account of politicians, government officials, developers, contractors, and cannabis kings who operate a criminal machine that streams through my small county, bankrolled by public funds, campaign donations, and pallet loads of cash generated by the most valuable crop in the nation. As the mayor of a friendly little beach town, my story should be a happy memoir. Instead, it evolved into a sinister citizens-turned-spy suspense epic of bribery, extortion, dark money, and death. How could the beach and vineyard paradise that Oprah called the ‘Happiest City in America’ be riddled with corruption, legendary with the FBI? I heard whispered stories, sat at board room tables behind closed doors, and had access to people and facts that others do not. Soon you will, too. In THE HAPPIEST CORRUPTION you will:Journey alongside determined citizens finding government corruption — learning how to spot it and fix it. Be inspired by the courage and tenacity of ordinary people who saved their communities and established good government. Gain a historical perspective of how citizen heroes got things done and where you fit in to change the political present and future. Know a government con when you see one and know why you know it. Find out how to beat city hall at its worst and be city hall at its best. Most important of all, you will be equipped to make sure your town doesn’t become the next Happiest Corruption in America.
