Caregivers Unite and Get Political Power & Respite, Debbie Peterson

The Happiest Corruption: Sleaze, Lies, & Suicide in a California Beach Town This is insider crime history — my account of politicians, government officials, developers, contractors, and cannabis kings who operate a criminal machine that streams through my small county, bankrolled by public funds, campaign donations, and pallet loads of cash generated by the most valuable crop in the nation. As the mayor of a friendly little beach town, my story should be a happy memoir. Instead, it evolved into a sinister citizens-turned-spy suspense epic of bribery, extortion, dark money, and death. How could the beach and vineyard paradise that Oprah called the ‘Happiest City in America’ be riddled with corruption and be legendary with the FBI? I heard whispered stories, sat at board room tables behind closed doors, and had access to people and facts that others do not.
