WILLIAM GALLAHER
Former Oakmont Senior Living lawyer accuses William Gallaher of reimbursing employees’ campaign donations
The former general counsel of Oakmont Senior Living accused company founder Bill Gallaher of approaching employees and offering to reimburse them for political contributions made at his direction.

The former general counsel of Oakmont Senior Living accused the company’s founder, Bill Gallaher, of approaching key employees and offering to reimburse them for political contributions made at his direction.
Jeffrey Breithaupt, who served as chief counsel from 1997 to 2015, made the claim this week in a declaration filed in Gallaher’s ongoing defamation lawsuit against The Press Democrat.
Gallaher and his son-in-law, Scott Flater, sued the newspaper last year, alleging they were defamed in a series of stories about unprecedented campaign spending in the 2016 Santa Rosa City Council election. The stories documented questions in the community about $195,000 in independent expenditures reported by Flater, who, unlike his father-in-law, had never before been a major donor to local political campaigns.
The suit claims the stories falsely suggested Gallaher was the true source of the spending reported by Flater. In addition to the newspaper, it names staff writer Kevin McCallum and David McCuan, a Sonoma State University political science professor quoted in the stories, as defendants.
In a declaration filed Monday, Breithaupt said it was “common” for Gallaher to approach key employees and offer to reimburse them for contributions made “at his direction” to candidates running for city council and the county Board of Supervisors. Gallaher told him he would collect the checks and personally deliver them, Breithaupt said in the document filed in Sonoma County Superior Court on Monday by McCuan’s lawyer.

Property developer and rumored billionaire Bill Gallaher has emerged as something of an arch-villain in Sonoma County, California. Now an explosive drama is playing out within his own family.
Last week, prosecutors charged Gallaher’s son Marco and his son’s girlfriend Rachele Eschenburg with felony grand theft following allegations that the pair had pilfered more than $100,000 from the family-owned bank.
The legal trouble started in May, when an official at Poppy Bank reported that Marco Gallaher was “fraudulently accessing” an account reserved for the bank’s shareholders “to pay credit card bills and make purchases on [A]mazon,” according to a search warrant issued over the summer.
The bank suspected that the younger Gallaher had accessed the account, named “Big Poppy Holdings Inc,” by using information printed on a dividend check he had received. The company initially reported that $75,000 had gone missing, though it was able to recoup more than $50,000.
Investigators tallied over two dozen “unauthorized transactions,” the warrant said, including several transfers to accounts held by Marco Gallaher or Eschenburg—who were arrested but not charged over the summer. (It is unclear if the couple are still together.)
