Redondo-gate
Integrity is everything.
During his 2017 election campaign, then-candidate and now Mayor Bill Brand colluded with candidate-for-treasurer Solomon and his inner circle to “find a spy to infiltrate…” an opposing community group. Then-candidate but now council member Nehrenheim, councilmember Lowenstein, current candidate for treasurer Solomon, activists Light, Craig and Holmes were urged by Brand in a 2017 email “…we should find a spy to infiltrate this org…” in reference to the Redondo Beach community group formed to oppose Measure C.
This breaking scandal, dubbed “Redondo-gate” is reminiscent of the bungled attempt by the Nixon campaign to spy on the election efforts of the Democratic Party. Nixon won the election but became mired in the cover-up. The email can be read here.
