Former San Diego Mayor Maureen O’Connor’s gambling woes made national news earlier this month.
O’Connor took more than $2 million from her deceased husband’s charity after losing millions playing video poker.
A few national news outlets (here, here and here) claimed O’Connor lost $1 billion gambling.
In the latest edition of Fact Check TV, I clarified details on O’Connor’s gambling losses and vetted a councilman’s recent claim about the vote to select Unified Port of San Diego commissioners.
