CA-42: Gary Miller Caught Red Handed

Hey, remember the House Republicans? I know, it's easy to forget a group that's become such a spent, marginalized force in Washington, DC. The DCCC, however, reminds us today that corruption still lingers in their ranks:

As you may know, the FBI is investigating Gary Miller for deferring tax payments on profits he made from selling his land to the City of Monrovia. Miller claims the city forced him to sell the land under eminent domain. Under California law, you can defer tax payments if the city forces you to sell the land. However, we have obtained video of a City of Monrovia council meeting where Miller repeatedly begs the city to buy his land:

Miller's district is seriously rough territory for Democrats--at R+10.2, it's the sixth-most Republican district in California. California Democrats hold no comparable seat in the state--the most Republican-leaning seat in their possession is Jerry McNerney's CA-11 (R+3). But, reminding voters that Republicans still have to clean up their side of the aisle makes going after Miller worth it alone.

This could be dangerous

Not to defend the guy but is it not possible that he suggested that the city buy the land and that the city then did so by exercising its powers of expropriation. There clearly is corruption out there but without knowing more this seems like it could backfire. He could be telling the truth notwithstanding his plea to the city to buy the land.
