Your Campaign Manager Suing You? That's Not Good.

I have it on good authority that Mariko Yamada's former campaign manager, Bill Ritter, is suing her. That's gotta be bad.

Mariko Yamada is the County Supervisor running for Assembly in AD 8 against West Sac mayor Christopher Cabaldon. She's known to not have very much money on hand, like $63,000. The lawsuit asks her to pay back past consulting and legal fees of $17,500. Obviously with that and legal fees for this lawsuit, that would mean she has very very little cash on hand.

Not a good way for a campaign to be going before the official filing deadline even passes.
