'One giant French kiss wrapped in money': Cannabis magnate admits bribing San Luis Obispo County supervisor
A high-profile figure in the Central Coast’s marijuana industry has agreed to plead guilty to bribing a San Luis Obispo County supervisor, the first charges to be made public in what a spokesman for the federal prosecutor’s office in Los Angeles called “an ongoing public corruption investigation.”
Dayspring’s lawyer, Sandra Brown-Bodner, said her client “has fully accepted responsibility for his actions, has been cooperating and will continue to cooperate with the government.” He is scheduled to appear in court on Aug. 25, having signed his plea agreement late last month.
Dayspring said he began paying Hill in 2016, starting with three $3,000 money orders that the supervisor deposited in his personal account. He paid Hill an additional $9,000 in cash through the following year, the plea agreement says. According to the plea agreement, Hill replied: “Got it. We’ll see what we can do. Extension of timeframe seems pretty reasonable and probably no one else in until everyone has been deemed complete.”
Two months later, the Board of Supervisors was weighing whether to ban all outdoor marijuana cultivation, which would have dealt Dayspring a “significant financial loss,” the plea agreement says.
