Has Lynn Daucher been a naughty girl?

In February 2007, Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger appointed Orange County Republican Lynn Daucher as director of California's Department of Aging. At the time, Daucher--a 2006 campaign loser to Lou Correa for a state Senate seat--uttered a predictable line about the elation of public service.
“I am excited that Governor Schwarzenegger has chosen me to serve aging Californians,” she told reporters.
To be cynical—like we are about the 61-year-old Fullerton resident's credibility, there were $117,997 annual reasons for her joy.
But winning a cushy government post may not have been good enough for Daucher. Sources tell the Weekly that Daucher is embroiled in a behind-the-scenes controversy. The issue, we're told, pertains to Daucher's travel bills. Specifically, there are concerns that she's been improperly charging California taxpayers for personal travel and then attempting to mask the expenditures.
A Schwarzenegger administration official declined to address the issue on the record, but admits Daucher's days could be numbered in the Sacramento-based post.
Sarah Ludeman, spokeswoman at the Department of Aging, did not respond to two days' worth of phone calls.
In 2006, we named Daucher Worst Candidate in Orange County based on a campaign of shameful lies about Correa, a conservative Democrat, and an alleged unspecified plan by homosexuals to take over the world.

OPINION ONLY--AND SOMETHING AN ATTORNEY WOULD KNOW. 2 reasons why Lynn Daucher should not be an appointed or elected government official:
Ms. Daucher's husband, Don Daucher, is a senior partner at Paul Hastings Janofsky & Walker LLP. See www.paulhastings.com and the firm's INTERNATIONAL client portfolio. Ms. Daucher's son, Brian Daucher, is an attorney at Sheppard Mullin. See www.smrh.com and the firm's client portfolio. The Judge assigned to Mike Carona's public corruption charges and former Lt. Bill Hunt's civil rights law suit is Honorable Judge Guilford, a former partner at the Sheppard Mullin law firm. Please correct if this information is wrong.
STRANGE BEDFELLOWS NO DOUBT!!! Only licensed attorneys will know.

I think you scooped the LA Times on this.

I guess this kind of corrupt behavior, is to be expected from a douche-bag ("daucher-bag"?). ;-)
March 20, 2008 09:45
WTF is the California Department of Aging? Where do these Jack holes come up with this?
March 20, 2008 10:29
I still say the most offensive thing about Daucher is her dyke haircut
March 20, 2008 11:58
Sal,
If U want 2 no wtf is the CA Dept. of Aging, go 2 this website: www.aging.ca.gov/

This is a weird story. Daucher and her husband are very wealthy. I cannot imagine why they would mess around with something like this when they can very well afford the travel in question.
March 20, 2008 16:40
Oh c'mon Art, you're joking right? Being rich doesn't exempt you from being cheap - the two go together quite well; and of course Daucher has been displaying a rather blatant sense of entitlement for quite a while. A bad combination.

Since when have Mr. and Mrs. Daucher both lived in Brea, California for 36 years. THAT IS A BIG LIE!!! More like, Los Angeles, Del Mar and Brea, BUT absolutely not only Brea.
