Ken Mettler accused of misspending group funds

Ken Mettler, a 32nd Assembly District candidate, has been accused of misappropriating funds by the local conservative political group he once led.

Members of the Republican Assembly of Kern County governing board say Mettler, without board approval, spent thousands of dollars of group funds to dig up dirt on political rivals, investigate a man he punched and kicked during a political rally, buy meals for friends and supporters and pay for a failed membership letter and website design.

Mettler denied the accusations.

"It is my strong belief that a few RAKC malcontents are desperately trying to derail my campaign and I guarantee that will not happen," Mettler stated in an e-mail.
