"It looks bad, but ….. that was not taken into consideration.” If you believe that I’ll sell you some prime beach front property in Phoenix. It not only looks bad, but it is bad! This is typical of Pepe LePew Baca who has a reputation of granting special favors to his contributor friends and to Hollywood celebrities.

The only recruit the L.A. County Sheriff's Department hired in the last 19 months was personally recommended to Sheriff Lee Baca by his son.
John W. Pace, 26, was selected from among thousands of applicants as the department was tightening its belt due to budget cuts.
David Baca, a sergeant with the Murrieta Police Department, said Pace called him, "looking for help" in becoming a cop. David Baca agreed to put in a good word with his father. David Baca said his father offered no assurances, but sometime thereafter Pace became the department's only trainee hired since October 2009.
Capt. Kevin Herbert, who supervises the department's hiring of recruits, said Pace's connection with Baca's son played no role in his employment. "It looks bad, but in my opinion that was not taken into consideration. ... He's an outstanding candidate."
