The wife of Hahn fundraiser Ted Stein, herself a member of the city's Board of Public Works Commissioners, voted four times to benefit Kaiser Permanente during the time the HMO's City Hall political operative paid her husband $250,000 for season tickets to L.A. sports events, the Times' Patrick McGreevy reports today. Looks like ticky tack stuff that Ellen Stein cast votes on, but I'd take the subtext of the story to be that the Times is casting a wider net on the developing City Hall ethics story. Ted Stein is the figure at the apparent center of two grand jury probes who resigned last week from Mayor Hahn's airports commission.
