Former Mayor Pam Houchen
agreed to plead guilty to public corruption and eight
fraud counts for illegally converting apartments to
condos in a deal that earned her about $500,000, officials said Monday.
Four other real estate professionals have agreed to
plead guilty to counts that include mail and wire fraud
and lying to authorities and are expected to enter
pleas Thursday in U.S. District Court in Santa Ana.
“I hope she goes to jail,” said condo owner Dwight
Flenniken.
Houchen, who declined to comment, faces up to
40 years in jail, a sentence likely to be reduced.

THE ORANGE COUNTY REGISTER
LAGUNA NIGUEL The suntanned man wearing
baggy, blue shorts and clutching a walkie-talkie
takes a bouncer’s stance near the rolled-up
doors of this big-box store that is a land of plenty
in the land of plenty.
His Secret Service eyes spot the membership
cards flashed by arriving phalanxes of zestful
shoppers who are speedily pushing extra-large
carts past this gatekeeper with a plastic name
tag pinned aslant with the average “Joe.”
