Yet again Michael Malik shows contempt for CA's Political Reform Laws with reporting inconsistencies

Yet more inconsitencies with Michael Malik's California political campaign contributions. It seems this silly "game," which began when Malik's affiliate Barwest LLC failed to report an October 2004 contribution of $26,600 to the San Joaguin GOP Victory Committee, has no end.

Michael J. Malik, Sr. reportedly has made just three contributions to California legislators between April 9 and May 31, 2007 according to disclosures reported by the committees which received the funds. Malik has filed no report of his own to disclose the total of his 2007 contributions to date.

From August 17, 2006 until May 4, 2007, (a period of less than nine months) Assemblyman Albert Torrico reports Malik has given his campaign committees a total of $5,000.00 colletively; which is substantially more than Malik has given to most any other California candidates other than perhaps Tom McClintock for Lt. Governor and Taxpayers for Perata. Torrico, a Democrat from Newark, CA is chairman of the Assembly Governmental Organization (GO) Committee which has oversight of Indian gaming matters. In 2006, the Assembly GO Committee by vote of its membership rejected the Gaming Compacts negotiated in 2005 for Big Lagoon Rancheria and Los Coyotes Band of Indians, Malik's adopted Barstow casino partners.

In contributing $2,000 to Taxpayers for Ackerman, Malik reported he was the "owner" of "MJM Entertainment" in Detroit, Michigan. The Michigan Department of Labor & Economic Growth's Corporation Division has no records of an entity known as MJM Entertainment. Senator Richard Ackerman is the Republican leader in the California Senate and a resident of Orange County, CA.

Gloria Negrete-McLeod Senate 2010 reports Michael Malik contributed $1,000 on May 9, 2007. Previously Malik had reported he gave another Negrete-McLeod committee $2,000 on June 1, 2006; however, Negrete-McLeod's campaign committee did not report receiving that contribution nor returning any such contribution; nor did Malik, a that time a "Major Donor," report the funds to Negrete-McLeod's 2006 Committee had been lost or returned to him after reporting he'd conveyed the $2,000 to the Negrete-McLeod 2006 Committee. And further, it appears Barwest principal Michael Malik reported to the Negrete-McLeod committee that he was retired and not affiliated with any business. Senator Negrete-McLeod sits on the Senate Governmental Organization (GO) Committee which has oversight for Indian gaming matters.
