In November 2022, a former public employee union leader filed a complaint with the California Fair Political Practices Commission (FPPC) alleging that GFC violated state campaign finance laws. Earlier this week, the FPPC closed the matter “because the allegations have been disproven.” We’re happy the matter is closed, though not that we were dragged through the mud and had to spend time, energy and money defending against a politically-inspired action. But we are aware that this is the sort of thing that happens to people who challenge the status quo in Sacramento.
