Jim Nielsen Ineligible to Run!?

According to an article in the Red Bluff Daily Newspaper – Charles Schaupp has caught Jim Nielsen Red-Handed…
Excerpt:
“His brother-in-law and sister-in-law had 10 acres and a “modular home” in which they lived in Gerber, he said. The property was divided into two five-acre parcels, and the couple decided to sell one parcel. Nielsen said he and his wife bought the parcel with the residence for a second home.
He said his relatives continue to live in the modular home while another house is being built for them on the other parcel. When that home is finished, Nielsen said he and his wife will move into the modular home. They expect to keep their home in Woodland and use it when the Legislature is in session, if he is elected, he said.”
First off – Nielsen is going to live in a trailer home…
Secondly, Nielsen is tied at the hip to Doug Ose. Nielsen should have listened to Ose… because Ose is hinging his campaign on the residency issue of McClintock (while Ose himself lives in Sacramento).
But – it gets worse for Nielsen, and we have not even gotten to his votes to send our water to So Cal and his pro-choice record…
Excerpt:
Apparently, the matter wasn’t an issue until the Pioneer Press, a weekly, did a story in its edition that hit news racks on Monday. The story tells how representatives of the paper went to the modular home Nielsen owns in Gerber and were told by a resident the candidate didn’t live there. (OOPS!)
Schaupp said he wants an official investigation into the matter. He said he’ll ask the Tehama County Grand Jury to find out who is to blame for Nielsen’s declaration of candidacy being accepted in Tehama County when he’s not a resident of the district.
This is an embarassment for LaMalfa and Johnson-Clark
