Whipped Cream Difficulties

Earlier this week, I noted the goings-on in the notoriously corrupt California city of Vernon. One thing I mentioned was the $1.6 million salary of one Eric T. Fresch, a Vernon city official until this past May and one of the people behind Vernon’s failed natural gas hedge.

Mr. Fresch was found dead Thursday night in Angel Island State Park.

According to the LAT, the coroner’s office does not suspect foul play.

Amy Brees, an Angel Island State Park superintendent, said rangers began searching for Fresch after receiving a call Thursday afternoon that he had been cycling on the island but never came home.
“He hadn’t returned on the boat he was expected to return on,” said Brees, adding that Fresch’s body was found in the water near the shore.
The island features a mix of trails and terrain, including some cliffs. Water is accessible from various points all around the island.

Also interesting: remember that audit?

The auditor said her staff could not reach him for an interview despite a deposition subpoena and repeated attempts by process servers to track him down.
