Also charged are Jason Perez, 40, of San Mateo, the company\u2019s general manager, and Hanan Qutami, 56, of South San Francisco, the company\u2019s chief financial officer.<\/p>\n<p>It is illegal for donors to channel campaign money through others with the intent of sidestepping contribution limits.\u00a0\u00a0According to Gasc\u00f3n, twenty-three individuals including Go Lorrie&#8217;s drivers, their spouses, administrators and dispatchers, were solicited by Perez to donate $500 each, the maximum amount allowed by law, to the Ed Lee for mayor campaign.<\/p>\n<p>The contributions were made shortly after airport officials reversed a policy decision to modify curbside parking rules that would have provided all shuttle companies equal access to airport passengers seeking shuttles.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Campaign finance and disclosure laws help to ensure fairness and transparency in our elections,&#8221; Gasc\u00f3n said, &#8220;and my office takes the violation of these laws very seriously. After a thorough investigation, we have found clear evidence to charge Go Lorrie\u2019s and two of its employees with making illegal campaign contributions.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The Ed Lee campaign, which has not been implicated in the money laundering scandal, returned the contributions shortly after The Bay Citizen <a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20120124124932\/http:\/\/www.baycitizen.org:80\/sf-mayoral-race\/story\/shuttle-drivers-boss-made-us-donate-lee\/?\">first reported the contributions<\/a>, October 6, 2011.<\/p>\n<p>Lee spokesperson Christine Falvey said the mayor &#8220;appreciates the district attorney&#8217;s thorough investigation and expects anyone who knowingly breaks the law to be held fully accountable.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Go Lorrie&#8217;s Travel &#038; Tours, Inc., better known as GO Lorrie\u2019s, is charged with making $11,500 in illegal contributions last September to the Ed Lee for Mayor 2011 campaign committee.
