Regents of the University of California et al., Case No. C079524; Superior Court Case No: No. 34-2013-34-00155479. Court of Appeal Waszezuk v. California Unemployment Insurance Appeal Board, Case No. 079254; Superior Court Case No: 34-2013-34- 00155479. Dear Congressman Garamendi: Lam sending to you a copy of my 30-page August 30, 2016, letter addressed to the Sacramento County Superior Court Presiding Judge Honorable Kevin Culhane. The former UC Davis Chancellor Larry Vanderhoef is the subject of most of the letter. More specifically, the letter addresses Vanderhoef’s involvement in millions of dollars of illegal power sales and relationship to millions of dollars of state and fedcral tax fraud. T am addressing the issue to you because you are the legislator who recognized Chancellor Vanderhoef’s achievements in the U.S. Congress on October 27, 2015. As [ pointed out in my letter to Presiding Judge Honorable Kevin Culhane, Chancellor Vanderhoef did not get similar recognition from any of the California Senate or Assembly member. The UC Davis is a lot closer in terms of distance to Sacramento than to Washington, D.C. I think State of California legislators are not very friendly toward rotten corruption by University of California administrators and their fat paychecks, Not long ago one of California’s legislators stated that if any California senator or assemblyman were to do UC Davis Chancellor Larry Vanderhoef 1
