Flashback 1992 : Boxer Admits to 87 Bounced Checks

Here's a flashback from the L.A. Times March 13, 1992:

Another candidate, Rep. Barbara Boxer (D-Greenbrae), admitted writing 87 bad checks.

The announcement was particularly painful for Boxer, who hours earlier had refused in an interview to discuss her bank statements, saying she strongly believed in her right to privacy and planned to vote early today against the full disclosure of all House accounts.

But Boxer, who is running for the six-year Senate seat being vacated by Democrat Alan Cranston, said she changed her mind after counting the number of bad checks at her Washington apartment Thursday afternoon.

"I laid out the checks. Boy, I'll tell you, it is a miserable feeling," Boxer said. "I feel very terrible about this. I'm very embarrassed. . . . I have myself to blame."

Are California voters sick of Barbara Boxer?
