Obscure source of candidate’s
donations reveal quirk in law
By TOM JAMES
Associated Press
California Highway Patrol via AP, File
A helicopter hovers over steep coastal cliffs near Mendocino, Calif., on March
27 where a vehicle, visible at lower right, plunged about 100 feet off a cliff along
Highway 1, killing all passengers.
Human remains found near spot
where SUV plunged off cliff
MENDOCINO, Calif.
(AP) — A Northern Cali-
fornia resident found a pair
of jeans and human remains
inside a girl’s shoe on a
beach near the spot where
a woman drove her large
family off a cliff in March,
authorities said Thursday.
DNA tests will be con-
ducted on the remains to
try to identify who they
belonged to, the Men-
doncino County sheriff’s
department said.
A crew Thursday will
search the area in West-
port, California, where the
remains were found a day
earlier, it said.
Sarah and Jennifer Hart
and their six adopted chil-
dren were believed to be
in the family’s SUV when
it plunged off a cliff in
Mendocino County, more
than 160 miles north of
San Francisco. The loca-
tion where the remains
were found is about 1 mile
north of where the SUV
disappeared.
Five bodies were found
March 26 but two girls and
a boy were not immediately
recovered.
A female body was
found in the surf in April
but has not been identified.
The FBI placed a boy
and a girl on its missing
persons list but investiga-
tors said they have no evi-
dence indicating the two
children are still alive and
officials continue to search
the ocean and nearby
beaches.
Last month, officials
said Jennifer Hart was
drunk when she drove her
large family off a cliff and
her wife and several chil-
dren had large amounts of
a drug in their systems that
can cause drowsiness.
Police have said that
data from the vehicle’s soft-
ware suggested the crash
was deliberate. They said
the SUV had stopped at a
coastal highway overlook
before speeding straight
off the cliff and plummet-
ing 100 feet into the rocky
Pacific Ocean below.
The crash happened just
days after authorities in
Washington state opened
an investigation follow-
ing allegations the children
were being neglected.
SALEM — Anonymous
campaign donations are
banned in Oregon, but nearly
half the money raised by a
leading Republican guber-
natorial candidate cannot
be directly traced because it
comes from two out-of-state
corporations.
The two corporations
have donated $125,000 of
the $288,000 raised so far by
candidate Greg Wooldridge,
who lists “the sunshine of
accountability” as part of his
campaign platform.
What the functions of
the corporations are — and
who is behind them — was a
mystery only partly cleared
up by the campaign after
the donations were made.
One is tied to a California
real estate executive, but
the other, listed as a Nevada
firm, had its business license
yanked, an Associated Press
review found.
The cloaking of cam-
paign funds reveals a loop-
hole in Oregon law: Anon-
ymous donations from
individuals are illegal, but
donations from anonymous-
ly-run corporations are not.
A company’s name alone
satisfies Oregon laws requir-
ing candidates to list sources
of donations, even if com-
pany documents don’t list
the actual owners.
The result is that people
who want to donate anon-
ymously to political cam-
paigns can get around the
ban on anonymous indi-
vidual donations simply by
using an anonymously-held
corporation, said Jay Stein-
metz, a political science pro-
fessor at the University of
Oregon.
“The
corporation
becomes a kind of black box
in that way — it’s hard to
know what goes in or what
comes out,” said Steinmetz.
“The spirit of the law is
what’s being violated here.”
Asked about the dona-
tions last week, Wooldridge
said the larger of the two
donations — $100,000 —
was from a friend who had
routed it through a corpora-
tion to protect their identity.
The campaign listed the
source as Daybreak Invest-
ments, a business originally
registered anonymously in
Delaware, then re-registered
in California.
A spokesman for Wool-
dridge’s campaign later said
the donation came from
John Ryan, a California real
estate executive. On Cal-
ifornia documents, Ryan
is listed as the manager of
a company which itself is
listed as a partner of Day-
break, but not as the owner
of either.
Asked about the dona-
tion, Ryan confirmed he had
originally wanted to remain
anonymous, but added that
logistical
considerations
also drove him to donate
through the company.
Ryan said he has sup-
ported other candidates
in similar fashion, mostly
in California, and that he
donated to Wooldridge out
of friendship and a shared
affinity for veterans’ issues.
Woolridge is a former Navy
pilot.
Heading into the May 15
Oregon primary, Woodridge
is competing for his par-
ty’s gubernatorial nomina-
tion against two others con-
sidered front-runners, Knute
Buehler, a state legisla-
tor, and businessman Sam
Carpenter.
The Wooldridge cam-
paign’s
second-largest
donation, $25,000, origi-
nates from a Nevada-regis-
tered firm that records indi-
cate does business under
the name Pacific Bottling
services.
Great things
are
happening!
