Bonds attack on disclosure bill in California Assembly
Sacramento. Assemblyman Bond accuses Democrats in the Assembly of trying to water down an interest disclosure bill while four members would be forced to reveal private business interests and sources of income under the measure. Bond says current law already requires disclosure of real estate holdings and income above set thresholds. He notes the bill would let officials keep secret specific outside income sources. During a heated Hoar debate, Democrats claimed the law would force disclosure of embarrassing business interests by four unidentified assemblymen.
