Volunteer speaks out against Draper conflict of interest

Pat Bauer, Capistrano Valley News "Either the company has to pull out or Marlene shouldn't be involved with the high school. It's a true conflict of interest because it's a financial gain for her family. It's the same old good-old-boy thing. There are innuendoes and you don't know what's happening."

Bauer, a League of Women Voters volunteer and a Whispering Hills opponent, speaks out against Marlene Draper voting to give business to Culbertson, Adams & Associates, a firm working on the Whispering Hills project that also employs her daughter — raising concerns about a conflict of interest.
