I've been watching this situation since State Assemblyman Calderon, D-Montibello, was convicted for money laundering. Calderon had connections within this water contractor that benefitted his political career and enriched him personally. Central Basin is a wholesale water contractor that sells to 39 local water retailers (Municipalities, etc.). You can read about this in The Whittier Daily News and San Gabriel Valley Tribune. Just follow the link:

This is an example of what can happen when money, political influence and meetings/decisions are made "behind closed doors" by water contractors. This was confirmed by the State Audit Office and the whistleblower law suit.
