FBI Investigates Rep. Gary Miller
Another Republican Representative from California is under investigation, according to the NY Times.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation is investigating whether Representative Gary G. Miller, Republican of California, improperly used an unusual tax provision to avoid paying capital gains taxes on profits from land sales to California cities, law enforcement and government officials said.
Miller avoided taxes on the sale of property in Monrovia by obtaining a letter from the City "suggesting that the land could be condemned." There was no apparent risk that the City would use its power of eminent domain to take the property. Miller may have used the same scheme to avoid taxes on the sale of property in Fontana.
