Laurie Ender donates to pro-Las Lomas politician

After a bit of confusion, and a scuffle with the now-you-see-it-now-you-don't system of online publishing at KHTS, it seems the following story has made it down the pipeline:

"Santa Clarita City Council hopeful Laurie Ender was one of several local movers and shakers who donated to Los Angeles City Councilman Richar Alarcon's election efforts in March 2007, despite her professed opposition to Las Lomas.

Alarcon has been a vocal proponent of the mega-project and, at the time of the donation, was working to stop the expansion of the Providence Holy Cross Hospital in Mission Hills, which serves a significant number of patients from the Santa Clarita Valley. Ender's donation of $100 was made during a fund-raising luncheon held in Santa Clarita where the Los Angeles councilman promoted the recently defeated mega-development as a way to increase jobs in the area. A listing from the Los Angeles City Ethics Commission also lists a $500 donation to Alarcon from "Frank Ferry Committee." Ferry, who currently serves as Mayor Pro Tem of Santa Clarita, is the principal of Alemany High School, which is located within Alarcon's district. Attempts to reach Ender for comment were unsuccessful."

Ms. Ender, which side are you on?
