California: Moreno Valley Councilwoman refuses to resign over past embezzlement conviction

More trouble in Moreno Valley, as Councilwoman LaDonna Jempson is facing a push for her resignation or recall over a decades old conviction. Jempson was charged with theft at a bank she worked at in 1982. She fled from San Francisco to Alaska and returned. In 1991, she turned herself in and was spent 45 days in prison.

The complaint is that Jempson did not disclose this information during her election over former Councilwoman Victoria Baca in a recall two years ago.
