State Senator Jeff Denham, target of a June 3 recall vote, has filed two criminal complaints against the main backer of the recall, the Democratic Senate Leader Don Perata. In the complaints, filed with the state attorney general's office, Denham charges Perata is using government staff and resources to back the recall. The Sacramento Bee has the details and the full complaints. This is as much public relations as anything else, amplifying reports about Perata pushing legislative staff to participate in the campaign. If there is an investigation, it's unlikely to be completed before the vote.
