Some politicians are criminals

It seems like these guys who live in one town and claim to live in another town are everywhere in the Bay Area. If you really live in Oakland, why not say so? It's hard to find a place to live in Berkeley, but if you don't live there, you shouldn't pretend that you do. What's the problem with moving to the city you represent?

(09-21) 14:32 PDT OAKLAND - Berkeley rent board member Chris Kavanagh was hauled out of an Oakland coffee shop in handcuffs today and charged with fraud and perjury for allegedly claiming a false residence in Berkeley to hold office there.

Kavanagh, 49, was booked into the North County Jail in downtown Oakland on $100,000 bail, while Oakland police and Alameda County district attorney's investigators armed with a search warrant rummaged through his rented Rockridge cottage in search of evidence.
