Today, Christine Hanley and Garrett Therolf at the Times report that the sheriff's wife urged Orange County Fair Board directors to support a swap meet operator who donated thousands to her husband's political campaigns despite a proposal from rival firm. Hanley and Therolf are having tons of fun poking around the Costa Mesa fair grounds for dirt on Debbie, who sits on the fair board. Earlier in the month, they reported that the owners of the Giant Paintball Park (which is currently on the fair grounds) paid the Caronas $25,000 for their help in landing such a primo paintballing spot.
