The LAUSD school board really knows how to trot out their “role models” for school kids. In Los Angeles, Ref Rodriquez, a Democrat member of the LAUSD board was arrested for public intoxication, showing once again how liberal Democrats in California do things. This isn’t the first bit of legal trouble for Democrat Ref Rodrqiuez either. In Septmber of 2017, he was was charged with perjury and other felonies for allegedly funneling $25,000 of his own money into his school board campaign by reimbursing donors. Back then, he was LAUSD board president!

A Los Angeles Unified School District Board member already accused of felony campaign fraud was arrested on allegations of public drunkenness last month in Pasadena, according to a report.
Forty-six-year-old Refugio “Ref” Rodriguez was taken into custody by Pasadena police officers at around 4:30 p.m. on March 16 at the Yard House at the Paseo Mall, a police spokesperson confirmed to the Los Angeles Times.
According to jail records, Rodriguez was released on $250 bail at 10:50 p.m. that same night. Rodriguez was released without being cited or charged, the spokesperson said.
Rodriguez, meanwhile, claimed to the Times that police took him into custody for his own safety. He thanked officers for “for being kind and seeing this for the non- event that it was.”
In September of last year, Rodriguez – then the LAUSD board president – was charged with perjury and other felonies for allegedly funneling $25,000 of his own money into his school board campaign by reimbursing donors.
